I visited Boston and loved it! This trip to just to look at town. I definitely plan on finding a job first. I’m pretty flexible and willing to commute as much as needed to get a foothold. Even working where I can. I get along with all walks of life so even if I could get a job in a area that is desperate for teachers. Any outlet I can to establish a life in MA

I teach 5th grade science so maybe that’ll help.

Oh I don’t plan on moving there until I’ve found something. This it just a trip to look at different towns. Im not that much of a risk taker. I figured a post like this would be good for finding out some information on town AND shaking that teacher tree to see what falls out. If there’s one thing I believe it’s all about who you know, now what you know.

Yeah I figured there would be some extra exams I would have to take in order to teach in a different state.

I was looking for a 2 best room if possible but it al l depends on pay too. If I can afford it on teacher salary then yes, if now, I’ll make due with 1 bedroom

Really? For all grade levels?

Sorry but that is a product of 31 years living here. It AIN'T going anywhere lolol. As far as budget, it's hard to determine. I haven't looked at the pay scale for teacher there so I am not really sure on budget and here in Texas, how much you make as a teacher depends on years of experience and where you live. Poor school districts like mine don't pay anything compared to cities. I do know a 2 bedroom something would be preferable.

Hello! Definitely renting at first. Gotta get a foothold first before committing to purchasing a house.
