    My biggest concern is that I have been very lazy over the last 7 days beanie and I don't have the slack to be lazy. I've done my office job and my teaching but no AQA and this is 100% neccesary for there to be enough money to literally break even.

    Then part of me thinks - these are the last few weeks (hopefully!) of having the choice of when to work (or be a bit lazy:o) before I am working full time somewhere plus whatever teaching I have in the evenings.........and perhaps I should just chill for a couple of weeks. I'd be doing around 22 hours per week rather than the 50 plus I've been having to keep up so it would be nice to be able to pootle for the afternoons......but it would be a bit foolish also.

    I think the cookery teacher post closed yesterday. Wonder if I'll get an interview :confused:

    ermmmmmmmmmmmm............OMG.......I have an interview - to teach cookery. Full time in a school ! :eek::eek::eek: I really didn't think I'd get an interview. I know the job said that a teaching qual. wasn't essential (weird in a state school) but I did think there would be candidates ahead of me who were existing teachers!!

    hhmmmm..........I've just researched the non-qualified teacher pay scale.....it starts at £15,113.........I can't afford to teach full time at that kind of salary - and I'm not sure I'd want to be taking the flack for that kind of money either!! I think I was hoping it was going to be around 18-19k (it didn't say on the advert).

    They would propably snap you up BB as alot of schools are going for the cheapest options at the moment. I would imagine that they would put you through QTS assessment based program which would mean that you would be a qualified school teacher within a year.

    Then your salary would go up and you will have a qualification that costs a fortune.

    If you dont fancy it then I say dont go for it, you really do have to want to teach this age group otherwise the flack is not worth the money IMO....... I am going through a bad patch at work so my opinion may be a little jaded:o
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
