[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should get a second job. He should be working at McDonald’s if he has to.[/quote]

I have been looking for jobs that pay more money. Ive told my husband he  has to give up on finding a new job in his career and just find something else, like working in a restaurant, as you suggest. He hasnt gotten there yet because he is determined to keep his career. [/quote]

NP. Until you actually find a job that pays a lot more money, I don’t think you have a leg to stand on here. You seem to be criticizing him for the same issue you are having yourself. [/quote]

+1. I'm a fed facing a probable RIF and my spouse makes half my salary in education. If I lose my job, I have made it clear that I can't be the only one searching; with STEM grad degrees, spouse should be able to make more if necessary.

If both spouses work, you can't insist only one is responsible for actually paying the bills. OP, if your husband's unemployment is actually ruining your life, try to fix what you can control - your own career. [/quote]

Once again, I have been applying to higher paying jobs and searching for supplemental work as well. I was up until 3 am the other night crafting cover letters. I promise you Im not just sitting around (after work and putting my kids to bed). Best of luck to you.[/quote]

Why don't you tutor?  Write your information and put it up in a local coffee shop or in your district's PTO board or something?  Can your DH go on Rover and dog walk?  Doesn't take much time and he can get a break in between applying for roles.

In education you can probably move anywhere.  Your DH should be applying all over.  Random cities/areas and if he can get a good job in a new place then move and apply for roles there.  People always need teachers!
