Are ther jobs in Atlanta, Georgia and the south east United States since the economy has gone bad?|122619

I was planning on moving to Georgia and I am a teacher, but I have been hearing tales of lay offs and cut backs in education. Is it that way with every job?

In Fulton County (the county Atlanta is in), the school board has decided to lay off all part time teachers and most all assistants. That was their decision after considering firing all school nurses. It_s unbelievable.
You_ll have much better luck in neighboring counties such as Forsyth, Gwinnett, Cherokee, and Cobb. They have a lower cost of living than North Fulton and are very safe as well. The schools there are of a very good quality, and I_m sure you_ll be satisfied with the respect that the schools in those counties give.
Clayton County has lost its accreditation in the past year, I wouldn_t recommend that area to you.
As a teacher, you have the biggest impact on kids_ lives than anyone else. They spend more time at school with teachers than they do with parents. You_re bringing up our future and I respect and admire you for that. It_s not something to be taken lightly.
But do check the schools in the other counties that I mentioned. They_re sure to satisfy.

That is true, the state is cutting back on the pay teachers currently get. Fayette County has angered alot of teachers they are already making less than most of Atlanta and now the County _ State have decided to cut their pay and their benefits. They_ve been having job fairs for teacher, so there are probably openings, you will have to pass their testing, as well as have the appropriate teaching degree - so you might be able to get a job here in Atlanta, but it might be worth to stay where you currently are because you might be making alot less here in Georgia. I know I_ve seen job fairs for Gwinnett County and for the Atlanta Public School System. It might also be worth looking at Cobb County.

Currently, Atlanta has a higher unemployment rate than the national average. It is currently 8.4%, the national average is about 7.5%. The economy is doing very badly here in Georgia, problems in the department of transportation, they are cutting back on everything government run, most only work 4 day work weeks, they_ve also cut back on how much police can work, they_ve closed several fire stations as well as furloughed some and crime is back on the rise.

Teaching in public school is probably the safest job in regards to the economy in Georgia. There has always been a high demand in certain areas of Georgia for teachers, and there will always be that demand. In the financial district of Atlanta, the economy has wrecked jobs and work...but since you_re a teacher, you will be fine. Go to teachgeorgia.org to see all the openings, jobfairs, etc concerning employment. FYI, Cobb and Gwinnett pay the best....but there is probably a bigger need for teachers in the Atlanta City district.

Well, I live in TN and have been to GA alot and I love it there but I have heard that the unemployment rate there is climbing and above the national average. Here in TN it is also pretty much the same depending on what county you live in. I would say overall that the job market here in the south is not so good right now whereas where i am from up in the NorthEast, things seem to be alot better right now which jobs and pay scale.

There are real work at home jobs which don_t require any money to join. Online jobs can be divided into two types _ Easy jobs _ which are easy to do and _Skilled Jobs_ which require skill from the candidate side to complete the work. After Searching the Internet I found number of real jobs which don_t require any money to join. Visit my blog www.free-home-jobs-site.blogspot.com where I have posted easy jobs and Skilled jobs. I keep updating the jobs regularly. All information is given for free.

Where is the best place to go camping in South Carolina?|132650

I am looking for a place that offers both tent and camper lots. Also somewhere with good clean hiking trails and scenery would be a plus. I am a novice so something simple to start would be nice.

Table Rock. It_s a little bit of a steep hike, but very much worth the effort. It_s located about 30 miles west of Greenville.

Check out this website:

We have it all here in SC....beaches, lakes and mountains.

Since you want hiking try the Greenville area.

Is it safe for an immigrant to fly from boston to california on an airplane ?|120131

My friend has a boy friend that is an immigrant and is not legal in the U.S. and they want to come to cali to visit. Is it safe for him to fly on a plane without any problem or immigration checking on him?

To get on a flight within the US, you need to go through a TSA agent who scrutinizes all i.d. Your friend_s friend might get questioned at this point.

Probably not, and definitely not if his ID is an American-issued one, such as a driver_s license.

Depends. They will definitely check his ID several times. I would not take the chance if he is illegal.

Where can I find discounted passes to Chicago attractions, other than Citypass?|116868

We live in the far north suburbs of Chicago, and I_d like to take my family to Chicago about once a week this summer to the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, etc. I_d get a Citypass but it expires within a week or so after you buy it. Is there anything similar to Citypass, that gives you discounted admission to each attraction once, but expires a couple months later?

If you have a Chicago library card you can check out a Kraft Museum Passport for free. Call ahead to see which ones they have (although they can_t hold them for you). It_s kind of a crapshoot.

The other option is GoChicagoCard, but that doesn_t really work for your situation either. With that one, you purchase the number of days you want to use it for (1, 2, 3, 5, or 7) and can get into many more attractions for free, but the days have to be used consecutively.

So, the short answer is no. But, Adler and Shedd are free the week of June 17 - 22, and the Field has discounted admission. The Art Institute is free on Thursday evenings year round, as is the Chicago Children_s Museum. The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum is free on Thursdays, and it_s by the free Lincoln Park Zoo.

The Chicago Cultural Center is always free, as is the City Museum in Water Tower.

Most Chicago attractions have a free day. I know the two musuems you mention do. The art institute also offers free admission one day a week.

Check the websites for the museums, it should be mentioned there.

I don_t really know if it is going to be right for you but there is a new pass out there called Explorer Pass. It could be right up your alley. Looks like they are about to launch a card in Chicago. Seems to be good for 30 days. However, I just looked at their website and they are not selling yet, at least in Chicago. You might check back in a week to see what is included. http://www.explorerpass.com/chicago/index.html
