[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make those folks get a teaching certificate and get them into schools  to teach. teaching shortage and especially of people in STEAM subjects. [/quote]

Are you serious? For an awful low paying job? No thanks.[/quote]

It takes years of training and money for credentials to get certified to teach.[/b] I don't see the Trump admin offering re-skilling of workers.  The DMV economy is going to go into a tailspin as Trump guts agencies.  For every federal worker, there's likely 3 or 4 businesses with contractors/vendors/service providers who will suffer as their agencies are decimated.  We are a one-fed household and are already cutting back on summer camps for the kids, travel plans, kid activities, gym membership and non-essential but smart to have home repairs.  We'll also cancel our 2x monthly cleaner and curtail restaurant spending.   And that's just the beginning.  If this continued destruction of the federal government continues, we'll eventually sell our home in the not so far away burbs, and move somewhere far cheaper with one parent having a hella long commute.[/quote]
Not in Florida. You only need to be a military veteran to teach in the public schools. Ridiculous. [/quote]
