Put me in, coach!
All I really want to do is help kids (or adults) with learning differences. I will happily take half than what computer programmers are paid.
After spending over 20 years in school, and 9 years in the education field professionally, I have yet to find someone to take me on.
I've signed on with an educator recruitment company and spend at least 4 hours a day looking for jobs, reaching out, etc. And yet...crickets or really fast rejections. I actually appreciate the companies that reject me, and get back to me. The worst ones are the ones that just don't have the courtesy to respond. I get that some schools and companies are so big, that they can't be bothered. But, I'm not applying to these places.
Apparently a Master's in Education, and nine years in the education field doesn't yield a Learning Specialist job.
A few weeks ago, I posted my resume on Careerbuilder's site. I've received many cold emails from insurance companies, trying to employ me. I don't want these jobs though. I want a job where I can feel like I'm making a difference.
Maybe by the end of the year, I'll have such a job. Until then, I'll be glued to my laptop.

If you're not in a job you love in the next few years, I'll keep an eye out for you at the school my mom works at. She'll been retiring in the next couple years and she is a learning specialist. It's in San Jose but from what I can tell a rewarding job!
