Just curious here, but this past year my wife took off and took care of our two small girls. One was an infant and we had to endure a very tough year. We have loans for about 7 grand, spent all 4 thousand of tax return quickly catching up and borrowed constantly from our parents. Well now with the State in crisis here in Texas I have began to wonder about possibly coaching out of State. I have been pretty succesful and have grown sick of the situation here. My wife doesn't look like she will be able to find a job teaching next year and the prospect of 1 income again is scary!

I have lived in Texas my entire life and have no idea if it would even be possible to get a job elsewhere. I'm sure the certification for teaching is not applicable in other state so it may be impossible anyways. I have noticed that in many other states you don't even have to be a certified teacher or employ to Coach..That is very strange to me!

So let me hear from you guys in other states. Do any of you have any idea how difficult it is to get a teaching job and get certified? I actually saw a Baseball job that looks very interesting in California, but not tied to teaching...Do they generally try and get you a teaching job or not care?

Thanks

Two of our coaches in the last 4 years haven't been teachers at our school, so that's not an issue.

We're always happy to see good coaches come in. Thinking about your wife, IMO Florida isn't a very friendly place right now for teachers or other public employees. I was considering leaving this job and getting my certificate, but changed my mind. The certification process isn't too hard to navigate, though.
I am not sure that certification is required right away, I think that they give you time.

Where I am from (Broward County) most people substitute in certain schools than wait for an opening. Also, most coaches here are school board employees, if it is a private school, it's not necessary.

The pay in FL is not good for teachers, however there is no state income tax.

You can do a job search by county or contact dept of education.
