I have a decision to make.
I interviewed for a job in Laton (about 35 min south).
I would be a one-on-one aide for an autistic 5-year-old.
It would be SO good for both that girl and her older sister to have me there with the experience I do.
The interview went great and they called me back that night to see if I want to move forward with the hiring process. I told them I would call the next morning.
I checked the job description and it only pays 9.45/ hr.
I had no other leads so I told her to go ahead.
Right after I get off the phone with her I got a call from Clovis Unified saying they pulled my resume off the internet and were VERY interested in getting me in for an interview.
I would have a probationary period where I would be a substitute, but then I would move into a more permanent position (all with severely disabled students).
I checked their job posing.
It pays almost three dollars more per hour.

My predicament is that I know that Clovis kids kind of have it handed to them. They have the best program, the most money allotted them, and the finest facilities.
Laton kids have teachers who have never had experience with talking devices or sign language, and they have the LEAST amount of money given them for their programs.

What to do?

The thing I keep thinking is that the whole reason I went back to school was because of my experience in Romania.
We helped in a kindergarten for kids with disabilities. It was an immaculate building, with lots of equipment, but the faculty did not have the training they needed to utilize the equipent to its capacity. So the kids were only able to receice sub-par rehabilitation and education (AKA they taught them to color in the lines..).

My goal for education was to return to the states and receive training that I could bring back to facilities like this.

That was my goal, and I don't want to lose sight of that.

But three dollars more an hour...

I think I know the answer...
