I don't think he could pick up anything just right now. This was his first week for the students to be back at school, and the school admin is a mess at his school. They got a new assistant principal over my husband's department (that's the person in charge of his teacher evaluations later in the year), and they had to hire him spur-of-the-moment because the old one just sent the principal an email saying he quit. They didn't even have him there last week (teacher training and prep) until Thursday or something because the school board had to vote and approve him. He has tons of new demands on the department, some of them very ridiculous from a teacher's viewpoint. I think he talk history before, and they made him AP of the science department. Science is so different from history, especially when you consider they need to do labs in science. My husband tells me no one in the physics department is happy. His school principal (her 3rd year now) is a complete mess. Last year, she got over the loudspeaker yelling at all the kids about the fighting, but my husband said he could tell it really wasn't about the number of fights; it was about the fights students recorded on their cell phones and posted to YouTube, making the school look bad. She had a freakout over all the loudspeakers about posting school fights to YouTube. My husband says if she does anything similar again, he is ready, going to record the audio and send it to my brother-in-law's aunt (an assistant superintendent for the district.)

The adjunct positions pay next to nothing for the amount of work you have to do, and he can't take a 3-11 job; he is required to stay at his school until 3:30 on the days he has tutoring.

We are not late yet but may soon be. I have heard it is best to prioritize the mortgage as number 1 and then go from there. Yes, he has been looking countrywide for jobs since my daughter's last day of kindergarten (when he lost his last really good paying job). He has not gotten a single phone call about a job he applied for, let alone an interview, has had multiple people look over his resumes, written different resumes and cover letters to fit different jobs, gotten free profession advise on them and nothing. For all he knows, the computer weeds out his application before it even gets as far at HR. It is very discouraging. He was on unemployment, but we had savings then, and his mother helped us out financially a lot; she passed away in late December (she'd been on hospice at home, getting sicker & sicker though she still had her mind; I knew when we left her Aug. 2017 after visiting, my daughter & I would never see her alive again). We didn't count on her just passing away shortly after my husband's plane landed at LAX, on the ride to his parents' house, so he never saw her alive again either. I had told him, nearly begged him to go out there, spend Christmas Eve/Christmas with his parents, but he wanted to be here with us, and she passed Dec. 28. As late as Christmas Day, she was able to write little notes. She had a bad breathing condition, not COPD, similar though, couldn't get enough air to speak the last month of her life or so and communicated mostly through writing notes.
