Really??? That rates well...that's a surprise.

Well, NASCAR and College Sports. Women's softball is huge

Yeah, can't get enough of that NASCAR...I'm hooked.
I don't mind the world series of poker...that's kind of fun to watch how certain people react with certain hands. But Billiards has got to go!

What are you doing up so late SS? I am writing a letter of intent to be a PE teacher in Denver.

By the way, where did everyone go?

I should go to bed, but I can resist waiting to see what idiotic drivel will spew from Crazyhorse's keyboard next.

I should stop speaking badly of him, this is very unmodlike of me

He's one of those people that tends to annoy, I understand. You're only human.
Is he even still awake?

I am still here. You guys just kept going on and on about stuff that doesn't intrest me. I tried several times to change the subject without avail. That doesn't happen very often.

By the way good luck on becomming a PE teacher. I am somewhat envious.

Well, I don't have a teaching certificate, but I do have a master's degree. That is apparently gold to school systems, and they can give me a 3-5 year waiver til I get it. All the while I'd be making around 40k and only working 9 months out of the year. What's not to love there? I am a huge jock, so doing PE is right up my alley.
So why would you be envious.

I am only applying...I figure until you try, you won't achieve. I must at least try, at worst they can say no.

Teaching is what I really want to do, unfortunately I have bills to pay. If they would just pay school teachers better they would have better competition for the jobs. But nobody wants to pay more taxes.

I'm actually appying to both the PE position and elementary Math. I feel that PE would be a perfect fit for me and I would really enjoy it, and actually make a difference with my job.
I actually want to use my degree, doesn't mean it has to be in finance...in the job world it would. I applied to financial positions in Phoenix. But being a teacher you are required to have a masters, so I would be using it.
Hopefully that makes sense.

The average salary is 52k...for 9 months work, that is DAMN good.
The beginning salary is 37ish, that's not bad.
I'd be started at around 40k, and I think for 9 months of work, that's wonderful.
