[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s your alternative option? Is it teaching someplace else? Leaving a different job? No job at all? What position? We can’t answer these questions without knowing your situation. [/quote]

I just graduated with my MA in English from GMU. The position is for an English teacher. I have never taught before. [/quote]

Do you have another plan? I have a family member who was an English major and after a few low paying jobs, decided to try teaching middle school.  She left after 3 years.  She really loved writing and literature and being around kids all day who did not was not what she had in mind.  Do you like children? Middle school is a tough age.  Give it a try if you actually want to teach and won’t get too frustrated by kids who can’t/wont read or write.  [/quote]

I have been applying to tons of other positions that would be more in the realm of what I REALLY want to, which is to design instructional materials for adult ESL or otherwise would make use of my linguistics concentrations/ TESOL Graduate Certificate/ practicum experience, and no bites. Not even an interview.[/quote]
