Unemployment Doldrums

July 17th, 2011 at 06:43 pm

DH is yet again unemployed for the Summer. The only problem is that this time around, his principal isn't trying to hold his spot at the school. So this means he is applying for everything under the sun for Fall. Thankfully, he got 2 bonuses at the end of the year (one from a grant and another from extra work from his school). These should get us through September and allow us to continue making our savings goals.

In other news, we are still waiting for APLE to give Keenan his student loan payment. They are totally held up on the paperwork. Total bureaucratic failure.

My dissertation got pushed back by some complications. I need to rethink what I'm doing for it. Ugh.

I don't think DH will be getting a scholarship this year.

Finally, we have been struggling with when we should start trying to conceive. We will start really soon, but it has been stressful.

    I live overseas, and I met an American guy at the dentist this week who is teaching with the Peace Corps. He said that he finished his master's degree in education two years ago, and there were 25 people in his graduating class. Currently, he reported that only three of them are employed as teachers. It made me really sad to see how education is being managed in the US right now. What a mess. He was doing fine, and was glad that it all leads to him living overseas and having his Peace Corps experience, but it's amazing (and depressing) that there is no insurance for a job for someone with a master's degree in education. Good luck with your dissertation!
