hey, do you want to lose money AND your will to live all for the opportunity to make very little money doing a job that everyone warns you will sap you of your will to live? try applying for teacher certification oh my GOD

#i feel like the world's rudest idiot because i finally went full 'i want to speak to your manager' on the njedcert people #because i had no other options!!!!!#and after a while of trying i got a phone call from an extremely nice woman (apparently the only reasonable person who works there)#who was so helpful and nice and finally told me all the information i should have been given 3 months ago #i guess if i wasn't dealing with [redacted family emergency things]#and if i had a degree in the NJEdCert Portal from Bureaucratic Bullshit University #then all of this would have been sooo obvious and i wouldn't have needed to call and email everybody on earth #begging them to explain things to me #but like. it is weird how confusing it is! it is weird how much effort i had to put in!#i'm a young millennial! i should not have had this much trouble navigating this online portal or whatever the fuck!#THERE IS A TEACHER SHORTAGE. THIS SHOULDN'T REQUIRE THE TWELVE LABORS OF HERCULES TO FIGURE OUT #aaaaahhhhh it's fine it's FINE!!! it's fine #i spent so much money and screamed a lot. not at the people working there. just during my nightmares #but it's fine. i can finally get the certification to do the unpaid student teaching so i can maybe later get a different certification #to do the paid teaching. which i'm sure will pay so so great #and so equivalent to the effort i put in and the way i'll be treated at that job #the new jersey education system is lucky that teaching is my 1 passion and that i'm really good at it and that i love it #because otherwise i would've given up and become the joker by now #written by me
