Well - it sounds like you have a friend that's trying to do what they can to help you out.





What I would likely do in this situation is see if I could get something in a school system (maybe substitute teach?) If you aren't having luck there - then try talking to your friend.





Let her know you'll take the job - but that you are looking for other things in your field...See what she has to say.





Besides - look at the bright side - you'll be exposed to something new - you might find that you like it. You really don't have much to lose.Divorce advice?getting back into the workforce?
You never know when you can get a job as a teacher. A year ago I was student teaching and then hired in November, right before I graduated. It was actually in my contract that I had to graduate.





Take the cake job though. Right now a job is a job. But I would quickly try to get a job in the education field. See how much you can get for subbing or as a paraprofessional.
Yes....take it. More than likely one of the benefits will be flexibility in the hours with issues with your divorce or kids.





You can always keep looking, and I hope you do so. Try community colleges and do it now....for Spring. Check job postings ion the internet and head-hunters if you can too.





Good luck to you.....so so sorry you have to go thru such a thing! Some men are just plain PIGS. Gives the rest of us a bad name.....grrrrrrrr.





Everything WILL work out for you. hug
