Oh Where, Oh Where Will I Find a New Job?

(Title to be read to the tune of "Doggie in the Window")
Well, I did it. I signed the paper declining my contract for next year. Now, it is just a matter of turning it in, and I will be officially unemployed as of May 18. That's a scary thought in the recessionistic economy that we are facing. I know that, if I step out in the right direction, that God will put a door of opportunity there for me to find. The question that arises is: What direction is that? I really had aspirations of being a writer when I was younger. Not a novelist, I don't have the foresight to think of an ending five hundred pages away from my beginning. I would LOVE to write for a newspaper or a magazine. Something that is challenging and interesting, and maybe even allows for a little travel. As those jobs are hard to come by, I am looking into technical writing positions at Redstone Arsenal. The work isn't terribly exciting, but working with the military to improve its technical capabilities could prove to be a challenge. (Plus, the added bonus of all those good-looking military guys) Basically, the job would be to take really complicated stuff and explain it in a simpler way. Isn't that what teachers do every day???
I am also looking into working for the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency). Their primary function is to look at intelligence and data and make an analysis as to the best ways to protect our troops. It is a "brother" of the CIA. This job would take me, hopefully, all over the world and allow me to help protect the military that protects me every day. Also, I would get to carry a really cool badge and have secret security clearance. :) The only two downsides to this position are that I don't have experience in this area, and I might have to go to some "hotspots".
I know that a lot of people would like to see me teach again. My principal here even told me that it would be a shame for me to get out of the classroom because I am so good at it. I know that I am a good teacher, not to be boastful, but I want to do something else for a while. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy that "AHA" moment that kids get. As I type, one of my girls is pouring over a book about the Victorian period. Three days ago she had never heard of the Victorian period, but I connected her to it through something she enjoys----fashion. She has also been researching the Elizabethan period. She reads my blog, so she will know that I talked about her. lol.
At least I know that I will be getting paid through the end of the summer so that allows me a little time to find what I am supposed to do. I followed the directions to come out to Kipnuk, Alaska, and I think I have made a difference here. I hope that I am able to see the sign posts for my new job as clearly as I saw the ones for this one.
Craving your prayers for guidance..
