I have been looking for a job, and the search has proved more difficult than I would have imagined. I’m a little older (only in my forties, not geriatric), over educated because of a silly master’s degree I picked up along the way, and have too much management experience. Most of the jobs I have applied for are below me. I’m not trying to be arrogant; I’m just saying that I am overqualified.
It would appear that the only people who are hiring are those who are looking for commission only sales people. There are so many openings for people who want to sell things like disability insurance for physicians, dentist disability insurance, disability insurance in general, or frankly, any kind of insurance at all!
Let’s not forget about the used car sales type of commission paying jobs either. It seems like those types of commission sales jobs are always hiring. It is probably because of the revolving door nature of those jobs. But who wants to be in pressure sales? Not me, that’s for sure! I just don’t see myself shilling away for some time share development or hawking jewelry at a store in the mall anytime soon. I just want to find something low key with a more stable income than commission sales.

Teachers don’t make a whole lot of money. They work long hours and then take work home with them at the end of the day so their hourly rate ends up being even less than what it says in their contracts or on their pay stubs. And yet, many teachers end up paying for classroom supplies out of their own pockets.
Teachers will often find that there just isn’t enough money in a school’s budget to cover all of the things that their classrooms actually need. Many will ask for donations of different items from parents to help get some of those supplies. However, they will often purchase student supplies and their own teacher supplies on their own dime because otherwise the classroom isn’t going to get what it needs.
This reflects the commitment that most teachers have to their students and to their classrooms. Whether they stay at the job a year or a lifetime, they throw themselves into the work and they put their all into making sure that the classroom is the best classroom it can be. There aren’t too many other jobs out there where people who don’t make much money are actually spending their money on doing the job well!
