Listen to J's advice. Admins love to be bribed, especially school district admins. I've learned that over the last year.

Good luck with your interviews! I don't envy you the interview process. Oh wait, I am in the interview process. I know you will do better than I'm doing.

Is it a possibility to get the teaching cert at night while you are working? I know a few folks who are juggling school/certifications or licensure/jobs. *shrug* It could be a possibility.

Good luck with everything!
