|Last 24 Hours:
The source for this was an officer at the briefing. The police department was located in the Midwest and the city has a population of around 300,000.
DHS advised select PD brass that they were expecting a total economic collapse as early as the end of April. They suggested departments stock up on supplies, including that individual officers keep supplies of non-perishable foods should the need arise.
The officer also mentioned that a firearms confiscation protocol would be used and BATFE would assist via dissemination of ATF form 3310.4 data as well other info gathered from gun show surveillance.
The officer was previously clueless to any of this and is basically just your typical PD bureaucrat. He was surprised that these instructions were being issued.
I, however, am not surprised. Even a cursory look at U.S. and world economic data, as well as the fact that a chunk of the world's billionaires are dumpimg blue chip stocks such as P&G, tells me we are toast economically. Looks like DHS is finally getting ready for SHTF day in earnest.
We are in the early stages of the biggest (sucker) bull market rally in the history of SP500.
For as long as the market is in the UP-SWING there will be no collapse.
I am expecting 100% rise over the next 12 to 18 months.
It will be only once we reach the above 3000 level on SP500 that things will become dangerous.
Right now we are at 1593.
An epic CRASH will follow.
In my opinion, the collapse will happen when everyone will be expecting it.
It will not be a big surprise.
gold just dropped hard somethings a stirring
Ummm…. When gold drops, money is being spread in stocks and bonds…. When gold spikes, there is something to worry about.
Cyprus just flooded the market with gold… hence the drop.
Stop fearmongering
"Cyprus just flooded the market with gold… hence the drop."
Cyprus is nothing compared to the massive liquidation in GLD holdings over the last few months. Greater than 1000% (TEN TIMES) the gold Cyprus has had to liquidate.
Why the drop? Unbelievable amounts of paper flooding the market. GLD's close tracked to the gold close shows a ~$35 less valuation of gold! And the volume? Only perhaps 5, 6? times in the history of the GLD has there been this much volume in a single trading day.
Fearmongering or not, something most definitely is a stirring.
Liber natus sum moriar. Vos can have mea tela quando infernum glaciatur super.
No actual source, no reference as to what city, what officers were warned. This has fake written all over it. Damnit BIN, I wish I could rely on you.
No evidence whatsoever.
Obvious fake is obvious.
gun show surveillance huh…well I hope they get an eyeball full because if they do…they will realize just how outnumbered they really are.
Obama is scared, he knows that important people know his birth certificate is a total fake and charges are coming. http://ppsimmons.blogspot.ca/2013/04/its-over-arpaio-investigation-team.html
Obama is 'scared' of nothing, and no, no one is going to 'arrest' him. Until people understand who is behind all of this, including likely many people who read here, but don't understand they are Helping all of this happen, nothing will change. Read these, in order -
You're welcome cloud. Makes it easier to see the real culprits -
where is the proof to this? someones word? my god, not another site where they can type anything they feel….hell there are still warnings from 2009 to today of the world ending, almost an article for each week of someone warning everyone…smh
Depopulate the rich!
the story is not fake. its just made up.
Vice President Biden Calls for a New World Order!
"Food For Thought"
Semper Fi!
Same repeating story, different day.
Another post about third-hand hearsay from an unnamed source in an unnamed location at an unknown time. Why bother?
The people writing these stories probably have miserable real lives, therefore they can only hope that SHTF for real one day, then they will be able to feel better, because every one will be miserable like them. It would be good if they could come and join us in the real world, and help in making this a better place. The US economy is actually in the start of an upswing, no need to worry.
Thanks for the heads up. Hope this will make more people speak up. We just need to remind these people that the Nuremberg trials held the people who "complied" responsible . It is not a defense to say, "I was told to do this"… You better make a choice now GOOD (GOD) vs EVIL.
D.H.S. is a for profit corporation which is issued Latin claims of Divine Powers. In other words, they are part of the War machine that has engineered the deliberate collapse. Ratzinger issued their charter.
The intent is to use color of law to allow Corporations to turn off necessary to life services and supplies. Food, Water, Housing, Fuel, Security Credit and Good will, all Commodities and goods. All of which are listed as the 'fruits of our labor'. This was all listed in the 4th Amendment Security Agreement, which they have now hidden from public view. Then they claim forfeiture of land, buildings, etc. all because the records are hidden from public view. These records SPECIFICALLY STATE – that all these goods, commodities This is why we had open records laws, this is an old crime called Covet Means, and it is being committed by the same group.
They had placed us under the Bills of Exchange Act. This was created by Rothschild family, under the prior Roman Pontiffs. An "ACT" is defined as a removal of a Right. The right they removed was our ability in personal and business life, to extend credit and good will to each other. In other words, we DID NOT USE legislated commodity money or 'gold standard'. This was when "Your word is as good as gold". We believed that all people had an intrinsic value in of themselves, and that they would return that Value to their society by what ever they did in the future with their lives.
If you fight over money, you will be playing into their hands. This is their slave system. It must end.
such BS I am a LEO in the Cleveland area, We have heard nothing like this.
In Biden's little blurbs of late, he is either drunk or drugged or both, one can hear it if you listen close. Seems to me the economy collapsing can't happen until more police state is imposed, those who read here, and at other alternative media think, "how much worse can it get?" "it must be time they pull the trigger and collapse it." However most TV watching, playing the social, 'I'm better than you' (even on loser stages) silly Americans, are completely unaware as of yet. (been out carousing to see what I hear) What you all (here) are acutely aware of is "the prepping" for this,,but it doesn't seem like they are done prepping yet. The people above will be aware 'of something' when the time is closer. It seems to me to be wise to gauge by a lower spectrum of society in all this, their somewhat vicious survival instincts will kick in when everything is close, these people are not dumb, just playing on the lowest field for some reason, some other levels of society have no hard core hardscrabble instincts, and will not only miss it coming but have no real survival instincts and will just start jibbering and wetting their pants. They are no good as barometers.
Did you just pull this information out of your ass? I've been lurking at this site for a while now, and every week, some doom and gloom story about an economic crash that is about to happen and never does. I think "Wolf" has been cried a few times too many.
Uhhh – what "Information" might you be reffering to Bright One?!!! This article and this site are far from the only resources available that point to something not being exactly "KOSHER" in the world… whether you realize it or not and/or accept it or not – a 16,000,000,000,000,000 national debt is not what any "Expert" in the field might classify as "Financial Stability". I myself find it extremely "interesting" (To say the least) that the end times Babylon as prophesied of throughout 2000 years of Holy Writ finds its end at the hands of its 'Debtors/Creditors". (See Habakkuk 2:6 – 9). And so you see – the "information" that I have "pulled out of my ass" comes from the "Word of G-d". Not to mention – call me observant. The World is collapsing all around you.. (ie – Katrina, Sandy, Fukushima, Indian Ocean Tidal-Wave, Haite EarthQuake, Floods, Fires, Tornadoes, Hail, Locust's, Frogs, Spiders, et al – ALL Plagues happening WorldWide of Biblical proportions.)
If you would bother to read the story you (and I) are commenting on, the "information" about DHS advising local PD about an impending economic collapse is sourced from an unnamed police officer in an unnamed city/state. It might as well say that they heard it from their sister's boyfriend's brother's cousin who heard it at 31 flavors last night.
See Vids at Fidockaves channel on youtube for more -
(26 Videos of Earth Change to Date).
Lurking indeed.
It,s when those – that don,t normally accept the non-sense and hype – begin to turn on the "Boy crying WOLF" — that the WOLF comes around the corner and eats everybody!!! Not to say you,re crying Wolf Mr. Shields – on the contrair – you,re just doing your best to look-out and rightly so. Looking-out is not only wise in this day of "Writting ALL OVER the WALL – and everywhere" but is also highly advised throughout the text of scripture… thanks for looking-out and sharing!!! The "Birth-Pangs" of the earth (as forewarned by Jesus) have clearly begun and you (and those like you) are bound to be right in the near term…. (For an example of the "Birth-Pangs" – just google "Animal Die Off,s"…)
Well, this is bogus. DHS would never share any intel with local departments. Not to say that things aren't going to get rather entertaining in time, but DHS sharing info is a joke.
These Fed money guys and the globalist bankers have been twisting around all the numbers and stats for many years, and could conceivably go on for years. Having all the bleak numbers and stats hasn't meant a thing in quite some time. If anything the Fed seems to have gained more control of many aspects economically since the late 70′s, or maybe that kind of out of control stuff was purposeful illusion. I believe they control the exact timing of collapse, and for us, using our own or others instincts for such a short warning time as the end of april from the present, would serve, probably better, than stats. The big boys would tell you those stats don't matter, which could be a statement of planned economic collapse to initiate a new one or they are such wizards with the money this system could go on forever. The DHS dogs part in all this seems like snooze stuff to me. The real bright ones (globalist banksters) we, or you, never get to rub shoulders with, so what's the point in guessing using their stats and info?
I have a friend who's a cop in Indianapolis and he said he had lunch with a variety of officers around the city on Friday. He said no one had heard of any of this. If they are telling local PD's, they aren't telling the Indianapolis PD.
Lies and nonsense.
This is a distraction.
The REAL problem the U.S. and most nations are preparing for is the announcement that Planet X is real. The United States is going to do that via NASA, most likely. President Obama wants YOU to learn that Planet X/Nibiru is real in time to help yourselves.
Since no one knows what will happen after that announcement (worldwide) there is lots of chatter about financial collapses and martial law.
The Zetas of Zetatalk.com fame have stated they predict most will just be SHOCKED by the announcement about Planet X, that is all.
But it is somewhat understandable that those in governments and power, worldwide, would think otherwise and be preparing for those events.
That is why DHS is buying hollow point bullets, for example. That is why there are underground bunkers for the mega-wealthy and power elites, except the joke is going to be on them: The last place to be during the pole shift Planet X will eventually cause (when it will happen NO human being knows, currently, anyone who says they do know the date or a timeline exactly when the pole shift will happen are lying).
The Zetas explained that the U.S. government needs to have the upper hand on ex-military, rogue units they expect will be roaming after the pole shift (maybe before?)
Read it for yourself at zetatalk.com. ALL is explained about the earth changes that can no longer be denied (Extreme weather, huge increase in sinkholes, quakes, and volcanic eruptions, melting sea ice and glaciers) and the signs in the sky caused by Planet X the public is also noticing (sun, moon and stars way out of position, sun rising and setting impossibly far north in the Northern Hemisphere now, moon tipping over as much as 100 degrees overnight which is impossible as 7 degrees at most is all that is normal, before Planet X arrived).
This article probably has next to no veracity. But it should still get you to questioning how complete your preps are. I know that mine are best described as "a work in progress". I just took on $12,000 in debt for bathroom remodeling to accommodate my mother in law. Getting the debt down while getting the preps up is proving to be challenging … to say the least.

Alternatives To Teaching: 20 Companies That Hire Teachers
Please read this article to the end-new jobs are posted as our partnerships grow. Also, please stop by and check out our jobs page; we receive ongoing opportunities.
Alternatives to Teaching:
What can you do with an education degree? If you've ever said the words, "I want to quit teaching," this list of companies outside the classroom may be a great place to begin your research.
What other jobs can teachers do? At some point in our lives, we all need alternatives-to everything. When we look at making a change in our lives, we must focus on something new, and this is where alternative energy, self-reflection and risk-taking comes into our lives.
As an educator, you are the most important person in a classroom. Teaching is one of the most noble professions. You make a difference. This article was written out of demand from those who want to change careers.
Please note, I am an advocate for teachers. However, I believe that if a teacher is not happy in the classroom, the students are not happy. Thus, it is time to look into alternatives to classroom teaching.
Therefore, if you are looking for alternatives to teaching, this can be a high-level place to begin.
The skills teachers acquire are in high-demand and they are also transferable to a host of occupations. If you teach, you have alternatives. You can create courses, train, advise, write and still make a difference. Below are some companies that can be considered non teaching jobs in education.
Alternatives to teaching: companies that hire those with an education background or degree:
The New Teacher Project
Edison Learning
Learning Resources
Encyclopedia Britannica
West Ed
NLU McCormick Center for Early Childhood
Language Stars
Teach For America
Clarity Consultants
Connections Academy
Boardwork Education

You may discover a new path toward jobs in education other than teaching.
Alternatives to teaching: Learning New Skills
Teachers can also work in higher education institutions which include: admissions, advising, transcript evaluation, registrar's office, etc. Junior colleges also tend to hire teachers with master's degrees, and there are a host of online schools coming online all of the time. Government organizations have jobs that require teacher skills as well. The list above is only an example of different alternatives and choices and is not meant to be comprehensive. If you pursued secondary education and earned a degree in a specific discipline, you may have various opportunities specific to the pedagogical area. For example, if you also majored in science, there are possible jobs within local museums, parks, and research institutions. If you majored in spanish, there are possible jobs with various organizations looking for bilingual speakers, many within government or even with initiatives such as El Futoro.
Best careers for former teachers? There are many, but you must be willing to change your life. Keeping an open mind along with a positive attitude is an imperative part of job searching. Stay positive, keep your head up and the right fit will come along, be it in the classroom or not (this is coming from me, a former waitress turned teacher, turned academic advisor, turned writer). What alternatives to teaching along your career path are you possibly considering? Can you share other ideas and potential alternatives 2016?
All of us, in any given profession, must keep an eye open for alternatives. All careers are at risk, technology is moving fast, and change is the only constant.
Best career changes for teachers opens up an entire new world, one that can be challenging and amazing at the same time. Please share more alternatives to teaching and ideas with our audience. Stay tuned, in the next few weeks I will be sharing 30 alternative careers for teachers! If you are looking for job postings for teachers, doing a job search for teachers or looking for job sites for teachers, be sure to visit our other posts with more information. You can find helpful articles here: How to find your first teaching job and Top teaching jobs: websites and resources. You can find alternatives to teaching, you just have to know how to find the courage to step outside of your comfort zone, work hard and change your life. There is always life after teaching, and I'm proof of it.

Hi there! I know a friend with a degree in math that works in the financial district in New York. So maybe a hedge fund company, would appreciate your math background.
Hear Hear!
I love this! Thank you for this!
Honestly, the prospects are not good for ESL teachers outside of ESL. There are very little specialized skills and even to teach back home you need to be retrained. To get another "decent" job I would suspect retraining and working your way up from the bottom. If you had a career before ESL, you could go back to it but it would again mean starting from lower pay than you would have otherwise.
I got out of ESL and found a good desk job but only because I had many years post graduation experience and had not spent too much time teaching. I interview but have never interviewed another teacher, if I had to though I would not place any importance on the experience and would consider it a negative if they had been doing it for too many years. That's the impression I get from many other managers/recruiters. Possibly for client facing jobs it could be a little bit of an advantage but we get so many people who have really good experience I couldn't see us hiring someone solely based on teaching abroad.
In 2015 all the high paid jobs are specialized because more importance is put towards people who know a lot about one sector/technology/product. Than who know lots about different things. ESL teachers know how to teach. Which unfortunately isn't an in demand thing at least the salary would suggest so.
So how are you doing now? I am in the same boat as you—same age, I have a nine year old son , etc! I would love to hear what you have done. I am so burnt out in a district that is super hard to work for in many different ways. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
I wish I could give a good outcome to what happens after quitting. I've been out of education for 2 years and had to go to retail. But the pinkos who run the stores these days only like to promote young boys without education (easier to control, put up with more abuse) I'm in my 30's, overqualified (educationally), management is secretly scared of me. So I'm going no where.
The things that you include in your comment are not correct. On the contrary, most TFA teachers not only complete their commitment, but elect to stay in education, despite the fact that most did not plan to follow this career path initially. This is my story. I have been a teacher for more than a decade at this point, have earned a master's in curriculum and instruction, served as a teacher trainer, and currently work as a director of curriculum and instruction. I would not be an educator without TFA. It is not for everyone, but the way that you portray it is simply inaccurate.
Hello All,
I just came across this article tonight. I recently left teaching in May after been in the classroom for nine years and I have been job hunting all summer. I am also on LinkedIn and use their job search searches which are a joke, honestly. I have a better time looking on indeed.com. My mother was a Human Resource Manager for 30 years and at the last SHRM conference she went to, she said the stats are 90% of jobs are gotten now through networking. Most of the job search sites like Career Builder and Monster many businesses do not post on much anymore because of their exorbitantantly high fees. She says you are better off going straight to the company websites and applying because this is where they are posting jobs. But seeing as the hires for the jobs are internal or you have to know somebody, makes me extremely discouraged. I have been applying for training jobs, and I get more rejections. I will check out these websites and keep trucking along on the job search. Money is running out and I soon may need to try to get back in the classroom. Sigh…… I was hoping to make enough to be able to replace my almost 16 year old car with the peeling paint and cracked windshield. I may be holding on to her for a lot longer than I wanted to now.
FYI…Teach For America is NOT an alternative to teaching. that should not be on this list….if you are trying to get out of teaching….it recruits college students to teach for 2 years so their student loan can be paid off even though they get paid while teaching…..nice gimmick….while the government substitute their income so the schools only pay a portion of their pay , so some districts like using them even though most of them quit the first year and most never stay in the profession.
Sue them for age discrimination. They have a real problem hiring older people. There was no reason not to hire you and I am sure that is not the first time they have done that.
Do want to do it for another thirty? Get out while you still can.
Great list of job for people who are looking to transition out of teaching!
I have worked in my school district for nearly 30 years (yes, I am the dreaded older employee) as a volunteer mother, aid/substitute teacher, library media paraprofessional (ten years), then a student for Library Technician, then again when the first didn't work out (wasn't enough education to hire me) I finished a B.S dual degree forSpEd/GenEd k-12. I haven't been able to find even the substitute teaching jobs in this same district. Go somewhere else you say/ask? I live 65 miles from anywhere else and my area has about 8 months of hard winter. In order to go to college, I attended online…for everything. I graduated magna and summa from both the colleges I have attended…any continuing/professional education classes I've taken, I've received A's, every time. I think this shows attentiveness and attention to detail. I have applied for over 16 jobs in my district in two years…In said two years, there have been more than 25 job openings for the 30 positions that the district has. I have been told that three of those positions were 'mine', I just had to be patient until it was made official. Then, in the end, the school went with someone with more experience than I. I have also been asked about my age and how that might make me cranky and bossy in the classroom and to the younger teachers. Then, for the latest library position, I am told my technology skills are lacking, so they went with a 22 year old, twice…after the first offer was exchanged for a classroom. I need a change, but I also would love to put my new degree to use. I am considered an initial teacher as I have been endorsed since June, 2013. New skills, lots of practical experience, no where to use them. Oh, and the district told me, after telling me I wasn't good enough for them, that Wyoming was always looking for subs. Yeah, 1 1/2 hours each way, in blizzards on a high mountain pass! Thanks for the vote of confidence!!! I need an alternative, which I cannot see right now.
I went to TCM's website and I see that there are many jobs to choose from in Kansas City in the drop down menu. What would you recommend a teacher of 14 years who instructed middle and high school English Language Arts, social studies and Special Education to apply? I've also written curriculum for social studies and ELA in middle school and high school and I am well acquainted with integrating interactive technology.
All true
Thank you all for your comments, questions and concerns. Please note, I wrote this article a long time ago to help teachers who were struggling to find different work. At this time, I am not providing personal career guidance. However, if you are looking for new work in education, I suggest getting busy and engaged on LinkedIn.
Best wishes,
God do I feel that. Wisconsinis going to hell since our fine governator decided to degrade and dismantle education. Now he's going after labor in his attempt to destroy the middle class
Boy do I hear you. I teach college and the students are such BABIES.
Try St Lucie County Schools. Turnover is ridiculously high.. But then again, who wants to make $35000 a year teaching incompetent kids with 0 support… Good luck
I agree. I've been teaching for 8 years. I have been a single mother the whole time and it is just too much. I put in extra hours every day and am barely a mother to my own son all the while feeling like I am not meeting the needs of all the students in my classroom. It is a thankless job these days and the evaluations are another slap in the face. I just can't do it anymore no matter how much I enjoy working with the children. It's not about fostering relationships for learning, it's about bottom line scores and pushing more and more and more at a younger and younger age. Grossly inappropriate and our society is going to pay for it one day.
Don't give up on your future! I am 44 years old and a 18 year veteran lead teacher in a major urban school system in Massachusetts. After many sleepless nights and tear filled weekends I just gave my administrators a letter of intent to resign from the school system at the end of this year. I came to realize that the paycheck, although nice was not going to guarantee my health or sanity. I am a single mom of two with a dependent elderly parent and I'm terrified of not knowing what my new future will hold, BUT I knew that the future I've been on will never bring me happiness. The stress of being a good teacher means getting the most challenging children, but still no real support. The myth of teachers leaving with the students at the end of the day is just that…a myth. Every real teacher knows it is a job that takes over your life, which is why originally teachers were not suppose to be married or have children. Their family was their students. Their life was there job. Reality check for me…I want to live long enough to be there for my family. I've realized that I have spent 18 years dedicating my life to other people's children and families yet now I see my 9 year old struggling and I have nothing left when I come home. Unacceptable!
I may not know what career I will have when I "grow up" 🙂 BUT I DO KNOW I will be happy, healthy, present and fulfilled!
I am at my crossroads. I felt like you. It's to late, but then I realized that I need 16 more years to make my 80% retirement from my school system yet, in 21 more years I'll be 65 and able to retire from a whole NEW career. Now is the perfect time!
We are qualified! We are strong! We are creative and skilled! But most of all…teachers are survivors because we've had to be no matter where you teach.
Take care of you…because they will have no issue replacing you with a newer, less expensive model if you burn out!
Thanks for finally talking about >Alternatives To Teaching:
20 Companies That Hire Teachers | EDNews Daily <Liked it!
Have you found a job yet? What type are you looking for?
All true. I have an MA in English (with a 4.0), am a Highly Qualified teacher, have full ESOL endorsement, teach standard/ESE support facilitated and Honors English in high school and I can't do this job anymore. Recently divorced with 2 little ones, I work my ass off to be treated like a joke and can barely pay the bills for it.
I also have over 20 years of public school teaching experience. It has become a pretty awful job. The stress is making me physically ill. Expectations are unreal. It is not a fun job anymore. Even the students are bored. So sad. I'm a great teacher, but no longer allowed to be. If anyone finds a great company to work for, for the average awesome teacher, please post it! firstname.lastname@example.com
Yes, how do I get more information?
Totally agree!!!!!! I'm wishing I could change careers, but since I'm 18 years in-not much chance in changing now!
Unfortunately, because of all your teaching experience, they DON'T want to hire you, because they will have to pay you more than the teacher who is looking for a job that only has 3 years experience. You look more appealing to the "tough" schools because your experience in classroom management will come in handy. However, because of your may years of teaching, you may not feel like dealing with that kind of crowd. Anyway, I have only 15 years teachign experience and unfortunately I have run in to the problem of not finding a public job in FL or AL where I now live because I have been in the private school sector too long and they see me as maybe I won't know what I'm doing. I am blessed to have been at two private schools that cared very much about us, but with private there are no benefits….so, here I am getting on up there in age and have absolutely NO retirement or savings. I was a single mom for several years and am finding it hard to find a job that pays more. Many of the teachers that I work with now are retired, couldn't handle public school anymore, and are enjoying being "retired" at our private school. Good luck…but if I were you, I would just look into something other than teaching that could use your skills.
Are you hiring in Raleigh, NC??
Hello there, juet behame akert to youhr blog through
Google, and found that it's really informative. I am gonna watch out for brussels.
I wll be grateful if you continue this in future. A lot of
people will be benefited from yor writing. Cheers!
Wish I could find a job in a public school in Florida! I've been looking for two years. I have 25 years of experience, and am currently teaching in a horrible private school that is all about the owners making money. They advertise a 10:1 ratio, but I have 21 students, not enough desks, no curriculum, resources, technology, or support, no benefits, and I get paid a whopping $15/hour. Really getting sick of the lies and manipulation from this administration. Either get me out of this career, and into a position that can use my management skills and experience in the classroom, or let me get into a public school, where at least I'll have resources. I want to write, edit, proofread, design curriculum, etc. Something where I can at least support myself and pay my bills. I'm feeling very down and defeated right now.
Hello! Do you use Twitter? I'd like to follow you
if that would be ok. I'm undoubtedly enjoying your
blog and look forward to new posts.
My name is Earl. I live in Schenkenfelden, Austria.I randomly stumble on ednewsdaily.com.
I just want to say that I liked your blog post about "Alternatives To Teaching: 20 Companies That Hire Teachers ".
Are you an educator interested in transitioning into educational sales? Teacher Created Materials is hiring! Current hiring for sales consultant in Cincinnati, OH and Kansas City.
I have been a teacher for 25 years in an urban school district in PA. I love my kids but am sick of the politics and bull**** that seems to now go with the job. I agree with a lot of you. I am tired of not being respected by administration, parents and students! We (the staff) have had 5% of our pay taken from us and are paying more for benefits…I am making less than I did 5 years ago! Paid less while the cost of living continues to rise. However, the district has suddenly found money to hire some more "assistant supers" while I make less. The money that was "found" is the money they took from us!!!! I'm trying to figure out a way to get out of teaching but not give up what little money I make. Any suggestions?
Hello there! I just wish to give you a huge thumbs up
for your excellent information you have here on this post.
I will be returning to your blog for more soon.
The first sentence is (I am looking for a new job).
I am looking for a new. I am currently in my forth year of teaching mathematics. I am tired of disrespectful students, lack of administrative support, and increased work load(expectations) each year. I plan to finish the current school year. I live in Arkansas, but I don't know if I will be able to find another job with my current degree(ba in math). Any advice.
Agreed completely
I would love to learn more about moving out of the classroom. All job searches seem to lead me back to it. I have extensive experience in management and HR from my pre-teaching years. Not sure how to search.
Amen to anyone looking for a career in teaching. I love to teach but that is not what teaching has become unfortunately.
I too have been in the classroom now for 17 years and find myself searching for a career change because it's now all about data collection.
Kudos to you, I was a high dollar career scientist turned teacher who just love my position ( in the class) but after 17 years I am ready to walk away from what was once considered a profession but is now just a job.
I have been teaching 21 years in Florida and all I can say is "stay away from the profession". We are not appreciated or respected. My administration are bullies who leave everyday by 3 yet teachers are at the school until 7 or 8pm. We also have to take work home on the weekends. When I average the hours I work I probably make $15.00 an hour. They want to treat education like a business and the individuals making the decisions have never taught and have no idea what they are doing and no one seems to care. We are the punching bags for all that goes bad and are required to to a ridiculous amount of paper work that leaves no time for teaching. Now we are suppose to teach chess. Someone made alot of money on this one. My students need to learn how to read, math skills and writing not play chess!!!
Here's a thought: pay the teachers more, treat them well, and *maybe* we'll come down to work in Florida.
Quite honestly…teachers should work in Alaska. I love it here. High pay, great retirement, no state income tax. Can't ask for anything more.
I moved to Florida almost a year and a half ago. Yes, the pay for teachers is horrible and the health insurance premiums are extremely high. I know of several teachers who have second jobs and there are a good number of them who also find employment during the summer as well. If I did not have other sources of income, I would find it difficult to live in Florida with the salary I get. Oh! Let me not forget. You barely get a bump in salary with advanced degrees.
I'd love to work in Florida!!!! I am an avid equestrian and would be thrilled to find a special education teaching job in Ocala!!!!
I have heard that Florida pays teachers horribly, that the cost of living in FL is high and quality of life for teachers low, and that funding per pupil from the state is extremely low because the high number of retirees don't want to shell out for schools. I hear stories of teachers having to hold classes in trailers because of the lack of capital for expanding school buildings. Is there truth to any of this, or just my misperceptions?
I felt the same way!!! I was forced to resign by a bullying administrator. After 20 years of teaching and 2 degrees, I cannot find a job. It is ridiculous!
RUN! Run as far away from teaching as you possibly can! It's horrible and only getting worse – the expectations are so ridiculous – anyone with half a brain or calculator could tell you they are not possible .. yet we are expected to do this somehow …. I work 7 days a week (9-10 hours M-F & 4-5 hours on Sat-Sun). My family suffers and I suffer and quite frankly the students suffer because I am a stressed out miserable person. I know 20 year veterans who feel the exact same way – i have been in the profession for 20 years but luckily I was able to take several years off when my children were babies. I would leave in a heartbeat if I could find a job in my area – we are a very 'service oriented' town -no big business at all (lots of retirees) so it's hard to find a decent paying job.
Can you give some more information about the job in Florida such as location and application Process. Thank you
Come to Florida. We can't find enough teachers. We have had 4 jobs posted at my school for 6 weeks and they are still vacant. Counties all over the state are suffering from teacher shortages…
I have a secondary mathematics degree with a master's degree in education and want to explore my options other than in the classroom. Any direct suggestions? Thanks so much!
I relocated to Canada when I got married. I have 24 yrs experience and a Master's in ESL. Upon evaluating my app, I am told I do not qualify to teach in Alberta. WTH?!!? ALL I've ever done is teach and I am damn good at it. I am thinking, what do I do now? I feel like I have lost my identity. 🙁
[…] 20 Companies That Hire Teachers […]
Any recommendations for a unemployed educator with a Masters in Education for Secondary Social Studies? My husband was a rock star as a student teacher and a sub, but no one wants to hire a grad with a Masters degree.
Thank you Robyn…..for opening new doors. I will certainly grab this opportunity to explore new options
I have 20 years experience in education at this time and am unemployed. I am definitely looking for a job, but would truly like to branch out into other areas. I've taught elementary, middle, high school, and at the college level. I have created and facilitated workshops for school faculties and staff and also for parents. I have also had experience as a Program Director for a non-profit organization and managed up to 27 employees at one time. I am really interested in a job position in or out of education, and in or out if the classroom. I will definitely check out the sites mentioned in the article, but if anyone can assist me please contact me at email@example.com. Thank you!
I also am looking for a job. I am a substitute teacher, but I would love to find a permanent job. If you need someone with experience as both a teacher and a tutor who reads, writes and speaks in English and Spanish. I would love to put my skills to good use. Please contact me if you are in the Johnson County area of Kansas City in Kansas. P.S I also have office skills.
We also hire educators. If they are looking for the opportunity to use their skills, knowledge and experience in helping school personnel about our teaching materials.
As with other companies mentioned, there are several possibilities, depending on many factors.
I hope this is really for jobs and not for course taking for changing your profession. I am really looking for a job other than teaching as i have the transferable skills !
At the present time I am not looking outside my current job, but it is reassuring to know that we have skills that can transfer to other jobs.

Using different countries currently putting addresses in place combined with the possibilities of food guidelines hanging over our minds, for electronic juices, vipers need to invest interest that is near to how they use their products and they vape. It essentially boils down to being a great person alongside really an excellent steward. I have had discussions with individuals who run the number from far left to much right while talking about ejuice etiquette. Frequently, vipers firmly believe underneath the rules governing tobacco use within public places that since it is not smoking it do not come. So when and wherever they want since they want that they vape. The continuing escalation in acceptance of ejuice means they are displaying a growing number of in public places.
Opinions will quickly kind among non smokers equally poor as well as the good about vaping as we separate the entire population and minds begin to change. Consequently do we once we observe balanced because we are not doing problems for others do we, or engage inside our liquid exercise etiquette that is superb to put vaping in a light possible. Do not smoke within 25 feet of the entry Do not smoke within the dining area table or with various diners until almost all the group was smokers over 50 percent. Really nonetheless, obtain the non smokers within the table once they were good with me smoking. Never smoking in when out or perhaps a table to eat till many people are finished utilizing their food Preserve ejuice in a place that smoking never drifts toward someone Often blow smoke Never within the space as kids Never in an automobile with non smokers I truly can continue it would been a long report. The reason was, I often considered others and so they affected.
Company specialist reporter, frank Anderson, produced 9 rules of ejuice etiquette they recommend people follow while vaping. Most are sense tips that stress us to become careful of others around us. Anderson suggests never reaching this for just two elements. While some variations do not illuminate if you drive it to vape or your hand covers also the light, you will find others like the orange-juices that glow towards the end. Then there is the liquid cloud both smell and watch. Vaping within the dining room table, really in a restaurant, is apparently rude. I'm divided with that one because liquid dissipates quickly personally. I support not undergoing it if they are within the table whilst the people within the table are eating, and never around children.

NOA partners with PIC – Timmins
Northern Ontario Angels partnered with the Timmins Productivity & Innovation Centre (PIC) for a second year Private Pitch Session on April 6, 2017. There were three presenters. More details will follow about these companies shortly.
Necessity leads to invention
In his nearly 30 years as a volunteer firefighter in Timmins, Brian Nankervis has seen his share of tragedy — fatalities that destroy families and burned-out buildings among the most devastating. In each case, the same problem popped up time and again: access to water.
Now, Nankervis has invented a tool that gives firefighters faster, easier access to water while on the job.
The Handy Hydrant is a sturdy but pliable accordion-like tube that holds up to 2,000 gallons of water, depending on the model. It can be transported into awkward spaces that traditional firetrucks may have difficulty traversing and handled with minimal manpower — two issues that continue to plague volunteer fire departments across North America, Nankervis said.
"There used to be five or 10 people standing at the door to be a volunteer firefighter," he said. "That doesn't happen anymore."
When the outcome of a fire can be determined by a matter of seconds, setting up firefighting equipment has to happen quickly and efficiently. The sooner a crew can start putting out a fire, the better the result.
It was this niggling thought that kept Nankervis brainstorming, until one day it hit him: a dog agility tunnel could provide the answer. He purchased his own dog tunnel, made a few modifications, and filled it with a garden hose in his driveway to try and prove his theory.
"It wasn't perfect, but the concept was there," Nankervis said.
Four years later, his product has received the backing of an investor through the Northern Ontario Angels program, and his product is ready to hit the market.
It comes in four sizes — 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 gallons — and can be easily hooked up to a pump and hose that then sprays out the water.
It's designed primarily for rural and remote areas that don't have municipal water hookup and source their water from lakes or streams. Rural neighbourhoods, First Nations, and cottage associations are among the communities Nankervis believes can benefit from his invention.
But its portability is also ideal for bush firefighters. Handy Hydrant weighs between 75 and 90 pounds and can be folded up into a backpack or hoisted onto the bed of a pickup truck.
Nankervis cautions the Handy Hydrant isn't fully replacing the equipment that's already out there, but can work in tandem with the pumper trucks and tanker trucks that take water from nearby lakes and streams before transferring it to the Handy Hydrant.
"It's just another tool that we can adapt to what we're using now," Nankervis said. "But in most instances, this is probably a better way when you talk about manpower, and time, and setup, and the real estate."
There are also commercial applications. In industries like construction, agriculture and mining, where water and its associated machinery are pricey commodities, the Handy Hydrant can be a welcome, less expensive alternative.
To start out, Nankervis is targetting rural areas throughout Ontario. With 460-plus volunteer fire stations in Ontario and more than 1,000 First Nations just in the James Bay basin, it provides a good starting market. After that, he plans to promote the Handy Hydrant across the country.
He's already made contact with some distributors, and has been awarded a distributorship by the manufacturer of a pump that he will sell in conjunction with the Handy Hydrant.
"The ultimate goal is to have one of these tanks on every firetruck, which is a reasonable statement, because that's what they're doing now in mostly volunteer, smaller communities," Nankervis said. "They have a water tank on every truck, if not two."
He's also applied for his international patent and next plans to roll out his product across the globe. Nankervis said Handy Hydrant may even find a use watering down winter roads connecting the rest of Ontario to Northern Indigenous communities.
As buzz intensifies about the Handy Hydrant's benefits, Nankervis remains humble about his budding success.
He plans to maintain his local suppliers and keep the manufacturing in the North — a response to the support and help he's received from people across Northern Ontario. Most of all, he wants his product to help people
"Six, seven years ago, I remember a poor, pregnant mother with three kids running around, and it was a windy, hot, humid day, and her house was going up," he said. "My God, when you're there beside them, you really feel for them, and you bust your guts to help them out."
Northern Ontario Angels rank 1st in Canada for investment deals totaling $50 million
Northern Ontario Angels (NOA); a not for profit corporation that facilitates business deals between entrepreneurs and accredited angel investors, ranks 1st in Canada for the number of investments closed in 2015, it announced today.

"$50 million signifies an enormous amount of investment capital flowed into our Northern Ontario economy by private investors;" says NOA Executive Director, Mary Long-Irwin. "NOA is proud to be the number one angel network in Canada but most importantly, we are proud of the increasing economic capacity, opportunities and impact that angel investing is bringing to the region. Today, investments are being made in diverse sectors from technology and manufacturing to real estate and entertainment. Almost all of the $50 million comes from local investors, directed to local entrepreneurs, to build local businesses across the North." Also reported today were some of the results generated by $50 million in investment capital. Key socio-economic impacts are: • 139 investment deals closed totaling $50 million • 1,324 full time equivalent positions created • 378 full time equivalent positions maintained • A total of $91 million in management and staff salaries generated. Northern Ontario Angels is supported by various community partners across Northern Ontario and is funded with support from FedNor. "We encourage innovators, entrepreneurs and high-growth businesses to get in touch with our organization. For those seeking additional capital or business mentorship to take their business to the next level, we have a network of angels ready to help," says Long-Irwin.
Original Press Release
Representatives from four local companies walk into a Bear Pit
On Thursday, May 26, the first ever "RBC-NOA SSM Bear Pit" pitch event was held in Sault Ste. Marie at the Delta Waterfront Hotel.
The event, similar to Dragon's Den on television, was a pilot event which invited local technology startup companies to pitch their products and/or services to local angel investors as well as business, finance and community partners.
Four local companies pitched their businesses at the Bear Pit on May 26, including: Digital Grounds Inc. (Gentroo), Heuristext Inc., North Origin Games Inc., and Veracity Asset Management Group Inc.
Each company was selected based on their unique business ventures, business development achievements to date, and ability to execute on plans for future growth and business expansion. All four companies were established in Sault Ste. Marie and are clients of the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre.
"We were pleased to be invited to participate in the recent Bear Pit event," said Graham Nelson, Veracity CEO. "It was a unique opportunity to introduce our company and present our business plan to a key group of local investors."
RBC Royal Bank and Northern Ontario Angels (NOA), a northern based organization that helps entrepreneurs get their businesses off the ground, were primary sponsors of the event, in partnership with Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre (SSMIC), FedNor, Sault Ste. Marie Economic Development Corporation – Millworks, and Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation.
"These home-grown companies have made tremendous strides towards becoming significant contributors to the future prosperity Sault Ste. Marie and the Northern Ontario economy," said Gerry Bugyra, Business Development Manager, Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre. "At the Innovation Centre, we work directly with over 70 new companies that have the potential to create new jobs in the Sault and generate wealth in the community; we are so proud of these four and the many other exceptional clients we get to work with."
Over 65 guests attended the event and feedback has been very positive.
"The Sault Ste. Marie Bear Pit event outcome was a great success with a strong investor, funding partner and local business turn-out. Several local NOA Investors expressed interest in future 'one on one' meetings with the business presenters," says Mary Long-Irwin, Executive Director NOA. "We will continue to promote, help grow and support Northern Ontario businesses."
The Bear Pit event was created to help raise the profile of exceptional startup companies in Sault Ste. Marie, and allow them the opportunity to network and share their products and services with the local business and investment community.
By presenting their business pitches to these individuals, they are provided with an alternate option for funding to grow their business, beyond grants and personal investment.
"We at RBC are inspired by the innovation and entrepreneurial spirit that defines Northern Ontario," shared Bill Bray, RBC Commercial Financial Services Vice President. "Through our active support of the Bear Pit, we are honored to rally around our dynamic business community while providing these companies with the tools and advice to thrive and prosper."
Based on attendee and presenter feedback, Bear Pit organizers are encouraged that there is an appetite for this type of event in Sault Ste. Marie.
As a result, NOA has determined that the Bear Pit event will continue in the future in some capacity, and is hopeful that there can be greater community engagement and new business participation.
Consideration must be made in respect of legal and confidential matters for new businesses owners, who often conduct pitches and engage investors in a confidential manner to protect the intellectual property rights of their business and proprietary information.
Investors, such as members of the Northern Ontario Angels, may also wish to remain anonymous.
Timmins Very Own Dragons' Den
Timmins and regional based business recently felt the spread of angels' wings that have been sweeping across Northern Ontario. On April 7th, the Productivity and Innovation Centre (PIC) partnered with Northern Ontario Angels (NOA) turning Northern College's Quill Lounge into their very own Dragons' Den. Other Northern Ontarian cities have held such pitch events in the past but this was the first of its kind for Timmins. Making the most of it, the pitches were recorded, courtesy of Near North Video Productions, for almost 350 investors to view. Another first as far as pitch sessions go.
During the event, three Timmins and regional based companies, Millson Forestry Service, Rheault Distillery and a new venture, spent the evening networking with other companies including sponsoring companies, TPS Group of Companies (www.tpsgroup.ca) and White Industrial Products (www.whiteindustrialproducts.com), and pitching their products and/or services to the angel investors.
NOA gathers investors with northern innovative companies who need alternate funding routes to start or grow their business in a positive environment through networking and pitch events. "Playing the role of mentors, investors and agents, we attract, support and invest in the growth of innovative companies with the potential of having global significance," says Mary Long-Irwin, Executive Director of NOA, "as well as keep those companies here and contributing to the future economy of Northern Ontario."
Pitch events are not only an opportunities for companies to gain traction and grow globally, but they hold a greater significance to the economic growth. "Not only do they help to advance the smaller businesses, these events have been known to assist in the creation of jobs and increase the development of dynamic innovative economies," says Kimberley Wahamaa, NOA Consultant.
"The Productivity and Innovation Centre wants businesses to take advantage of the services they offer as well as offer other opportunities that support their knowledge and scale them to accomplish their goals, increase capital and have the option to grow and succeed," says Fred Gibbons, Chair of Timmins Economic Development Corporation.
PIC is part of the Ontario Network of Entrepreneurs (ONE), and is supported by FedNor, NOHFC, Timmins Economic Development Corporation, NEOnet, and other partners. For more information on the Productivity & Innovation Centre (PIC) and its initiatives please contact Ana Blouin, Project Development Manager, firstname.lastname@example.com or 705-269-1354.
NOA, Northern Ontario's premiere organization for entrepreneurs and angel investors, is also part of the Ontario Network of Entrepreneurs (ONE), and is supported by the Government of Canada, FedNor, The Network of Angel Organizations – Ontario, and other partners. For more information about Northern Ontario Angels (NOA) please contact Mary Long-Irwin, Executive Director, firstname.lastname@example.com or 807-344-4440.

President Bush signed an executive order today to allow a sitting president to keep secret the papers of a previous president, even if a previous president wants his papers made public.
Administration officials said the order would provide an ''orderly process'' to help archivists handle requests for presidential papers. Ari Fleischer, the White House press secretary, said today that ''more information will be forthcoming'' because of the order.
Some historians and public interest lawyers disagreed.
''Those claims are absurd,'' said Hugh Davis Graham, a presidential historian at Vanderbilt University who has seen the order. Mr. Graham said he viewed the executive order as the latest effort by the Bush White House to clamp down on the flow of information to the public.
The five-page executive order, drafted by the White House counsel Alberto R. Gonzales, would give either an incumbent president or a former president the right to withhold the former president's papers from the public.
''We thought it would be more appropriate to really give the primary responsibility regarding presidential records to the former president whose records they belong to,'' Mr. Gonzales said in a briefing for reporters, ''and to have the incumbent president sort of be the backstop in making decisions about whether or not those documents should in fact be released.''Continue reading the main story
At issue are 68,000 pages of records from the Reagan administration, which by law were due to be made public in January of this year. But the current White House blocked the release of those documents, which contain confidential communications between President Reagan and his advisers, including Mr. Bush's father, George Bush, who was Mr. Reagan's vice president.
Critics have accused the current administration of trying to withhold documents that might be embarrassing not only to the president's father, but to other administration officials who served Mr. Reagan. Among them are Secretary of State Colin L. Powell; Mitchell E. Daniels Jr., the budget director; and Lawrence B. Lindsey, the chief White House economist.
Historians say the documents most likely include memorandums of policy decisions, briefing papers and correspondence among White House advisers.
Until 1977, American presidents controlled the release of their own papers. But after Watergate and President Richard M. Nixon's attempt to retain his records and tape recordings, Congress passed the 1978 Presidential Records Act, which called for the release of presidential papers 12 years after an administration.
That law took effect in 1981. The Reagan documents would be the first presidential papers released under the act.
The White House delayed that release three times, saying it needed time to review the papers.
Mr. Graham, the presidential historian, said the current administration was also concerned about protecting its own secrets during the war with Afghanistan.Continue reading the main story

I just wanted to take this moment to thank our patients for voting us best plastic surgeons in Ventura County for 2014! This is the fourth year in a row that we have won this award. It means the world to us that our patients acknowledge and appreciate us so much. We are honored and blessed to receive this recognition. We strive to continue to excel at what we do.
For the Fourth Year in a Row, the Kryger Institute of Plastic Surgery Wins the Ventura County Star Reader's Choice Award for Best Plastic Surgery Practice in Ventura County!
The Kryger Institute of Plastic Surgery has once again been named the winner of the Ventura County Star Reader's Choice Award for Best Plastic Surgery Practice in Ventura County!
We recently returned from the 2014 Baker Gordon plastic surgery symposium in Miami. This is an excellent meeting in which leaders in the field of cosmetic surgery perform surgery live. A number of the surgeons presenting this year were personal friends and colleagues allowing us several opportunities to learn and observe some of the newest techniques on the cutting edge of plastic surgery.
We've been humbled and proud to win the Ventura County Star Reader's Choice Award, three years in a row. Will you help us make it four? If you've been happy with your care at our practice, we'd so appreciate your vote!
There is now one more FDA approved filler on the market. Voluma Juvederm made by Allergan has been approved for the temporary filling of the cheek region.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping the nose. It has two main components to it. First the cosmetic component: reshaping the nose to meet your personal goals.
For the past few years, it has become increasingly clear that many of the aging changes of the face are due to loss of volume. This is especially true around the eyes and the mouth. Essentially, our faces deflate as we age. You can see this in people who have lost tons of weight. Their faces become gaunt and sunken and make them look much older. The solution for many of these cases is restoring the volume. This approach is often non-surgical, and produces a very natural, youthful result. The goal is to look younger, not different.
Summer is in full swing, and for many of us, this means hours in the sun playing, swimming, barbecuing, and more. But did you know that all this time spent in the sun can cause irreversible damage to your skin? This includes premature aging such as fine wrinkles, sun spots, irregular pigmentation and an increased risk for skin cancer.
One of the most common aspects of the plastic surgeon's career involves managing scars and preventing them from being conspicuous. We are frequently asked by patients how to make a scar go away or how to minimize its appearance. Here are three important things you should know: 1) Keep Wounds in a Moist Environment The first thing to understand is that a scab is not a good thing for healing.
Well, we knew it wouldn't be long before Mentor had its tear-dropped "gummybear" implants approved by the FDA. This is good news for anyone considering breast augmentation or breast reconstruction. Now all three breast implant manufacturers in the U.S. offer these shaped implants (Allergan, Sientra and Mentor).
Our surgeons have over a decade of experience in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, and have a record of exceptional results. Learn more about our surgeons or request a consultation.
They serve on the editorial board of the Journal of Microsurgery, have published numerous scientific papers, presented at many national and international conferences, and have edited a comprehensive plastic surgery textbook used by surgeons around the world.
Board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Gil Kryger and Dr. Zol Kryger provide concierge-level plastic and cosmetic surgery of the face, breast, and body at their Thousand Oaks Institute. They also perform numerous non-surgical procedures such as fillers and Botox®. The Institute serves residents of Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Newbury Park, Simi Valley, Calabasas, Moorpark, Camarillo, Oxnard, Ventura, Malibu, West Hills, Woodland Hills, and surrounding Southern California communities.

Chapter 2 Edit
Verde's PoVEdit
Running, It was all I knew. My father was a gym leader. After he suffered one too many loses, he took his damn anger out on me, his son. So after the third time, I tried to leave, he sent his Pidgeot after me, It attacked me with those sharp talons, but my dad forgot one thing: I had it's Pokeball. I just returned it to its Pokeball, and disapeared from the world, went under the radar. Then I met these three travelers. I was riding on my Pidgeot when I crashed into a blue bike.
"Hey, what the hell," I said, opening my eyes. I saw three travelers, a pokemon ranger, a trainer, and a swordsman.
"I am so sorry, but why are you in a hurry," I asked.
"We were on our way to Pallet Town," The trainer said.
"I could get you there," I said, standing up ", Volkner, get me and these travelers to Pallet Town!" The bird flew and grabbed all of us, placing all of us on his back.
"Volkner is the name of the Bird Pokemon gym leader," the trainer started ",Is he your..."
"Don't you dare finish that damn sentence," I said ", By the way, I'm Verde Leaf."
"I'm Crimson," The trainer said ", The swordsman is Gray, and the girl, we call her Azure."
"Is she your girlfriend," I asked.
"Well, she isn't, she has amnesia, I found her," Crimson said, flustered a deep red.
"Well, anyway, to answer you question, yes, Volkner is my father, I left because he would take his anger out on me, so I stole his Pidgeot. We're here." I told Pidgeo to go down.
