How do teachers find their jobs?

So I've been at my job managing a restaurant in Hollywood, CA for the past ten years.  It's a dead end job, in a small family owned restaurant with owners who are crazy.  There are no benefits and there is no room for advancement.  Since I'm in school, right now I'm only working part time and it's barely enough to get by on.  I've been sending out resumes along with copies of my teaching credential, every day to different schools so I can get a job as a teacher.  I'd really like to get a job this summer teaching full time so I can get more experience as an educator, and start paying some bills.  Tho, my other option is to just get any job and start working full time.  I've sent out a few resumes to restaurants that have their act together, offering benefits and room for advancement.  Maybe teaching will have to wait...

The Quest for Employment

In my journey to to find employment I find myself contemplating what is the ideal job for me.   Teaching English to adults in the Ecuadorian rain forest overlooking the Pacific ocean sounds like a good place to me.   But back to reality.  A substitute teacher at Hollywood High Adult School would be nice for now.  Switching careers is challenging.  Finding any job that will help me gain experience while getting paid a decent wage, that will also allow me the flexibility of getting my masters degree is my basic goal.   I'm 40 years old now and really need health insurance.  I have a serious kidney disease and may need a transplant soon.  These days a college degree does not guarantee you anything, not even intelligence.  I love teaching and being social, there has to be a job for me somewhere.....
