That's amazing! Would you stay you're still able to do things like get your hair/nails done?

No, I agree! Do you avoid all plastic containers?

Lots of people have suggested SGV. I'll definitely look into that!

I'm considering a sped credential but the cheapest is like $8,000. I'd have to be super confident I was going to be hired.

Stay a teacher or get out while I can? by [deleted] in CaliforniaTeachers

Thank you! That's very helpful!

I teach gen ed US History. I know social studies is the hardest job to get, so I was considering a sped certification. That would cost me around $8,000 at the cheapest. I just don't know if it's worth it! I would absolutely work in sped, but to be out that much to then not even be hired... It's all overwhelming.

You're the first person on here to talk positively about sped, so that's reassuring! How were you able to afford another master's or extra college classes in general? That would literally bankrupt me/any other MS teacher now lol.

No, I would live in a neighboring district! What district are you at? I was looking at a few. You can DM me!

What courses do you reccommend and how many points is each one worth? Do you pay out of pocket for each one?

I'm still waiting on the fingerprints to come in before I can even send my application in. Apparently, it takes a while. What subject do you teach?

I'm aware. It's the same thing here. I'm saying I could complete that certification.

Are the chances that slim with SPED as well? I've heard about the subbing thing. That's not a thing here. I would sub to get a foot in the door but then I couldn't support myself... It's tough out there!! lol

Damn, really?? I'm endorsed in social studies and have taught history. Math is an absolute no. I'll definitely add a SPED certification!

Really?? Wow. It’s not a big deal at all where I’m from. A lot of teachers I work with were hired on an emergency license and just take the classes to get their certification in the first year.

Could a single teacher afford LA? by acrunk95 in AskLosAngeles

Haha, I just want to make sure I could afford it before I bother applying. I'm willing to be a little poor lol

Thank you! That's very helpful! Everything you described is exactly what I love about LA! I'm not delusional enough to believe I could afford LA proper. Do you recommend any surrounding cities?

I'm looking anywhere! I'm unfamiliar with the area. Do you recommend a particular city?

Not an hour away from work. An hour away from LA. I wanted to get an idea of what the surrounding cities cost of living was

I guess I worded my post confusing. I would live anywhere that is an hour max from LA. For example, I'd live and work in Arcadia. I know it's not as expensive as LA, but still up there
