Teachers, how is the outlook in the profession?

I am now about to enter my second year of college, and am still conflicted between two majors. One being liberal studies. Although teaching would be my one main goal, what scares me most is not being able to find a job once I obtain my degree (I live in California if that helps) I am wondering, has the conditions for teachers improved? Or are they still receiving pink slips and layoffs up till today? I wish to teach in an elementary school, what are the chances of finding a descent job after college? Because of this, I am soo worried as to whether I should pursue teaching or not. I have tutored before, and helped elementary teachers out during class. I absolutely love the classroom atmosphere. The low salary doesn't even bother me, its just the fact that it seems as if its so hard to find a job afterwards. Should I still pursue teaching?

Can I omit these positions? or what would be the best way to put them on a resume?

The year 2010 was scattered with work that really didn't last i had jobs any where from 1 week to 1 month before I got a job I was at for 6 months before having to leave for scheduling issues with school. I don't bother putting the 1 week on a resume because it was only a week and the company went through a layoff right after I was hired, before that I left a position at the end of 3 week training because it wasn't what I was told the job would be, but i left my previous job that i was there for a year with for them. There was one that was a seasonal position for 1 month. can I omit all of those extremely short positions between march to october?

How do I recover my pride to be a good husband?

I know the male ego can be a bad thing and a hindrance to a relationship. My wife put me down quite a bit, told me I'm not good (future) father material, flirted openly with other men, exposed her body to two young men one of whom had a laugh and a good time of it at my expense (he was late teens or early 20s, I'm not sure) and basically said I don't earn enough money. She was going through a rough spot, was threatened with a layoff and had lost a close relative. So I tried to cut her some slack and talk it all through. But my ego is shot, I feel resentment, even of the fact that I had to do all the work to get us back on track. She is happy again and sings my praises often, though she does break down now and then and lash out at me, not with anger but with condescension and a seeming lack of respect. How does a man get past his ego? Other than marital counseling, what will help me move on?

Help! I'm afraid to ride my horse after an extended layoff.?

A little background info. My 12 y/o TB mare fractured her coffin bone 4 months ago and has been on stall rest with limited turnout. The vet has given me the ok to start riding her again for about 10 mins per day, walking only. She's very sweet, but I am still nervous to get on her after such a long vacation. Does anyone have any suggestions to make these first few rides "uneventful"? I would normally lunge her if she was being fiesty, but I am not able to do that due to her recovery. (Trotting on a small circle would put too much stress on the injury) Thank you soo much for any advice.

I quit my job, can I still get unemployment?

I was suppose to be layoff in August of 2010 but that was postponed until November 2010, which was delayed until January of 2011, and finally set for April 18 of 2011. In the mean time I made plans to relocate but delayed my departure to accommodate my employer and to be eligible for unemployment. However April 18 date came and went with no specific date but talk of an additional 90 days before layoffs would take effect. Without a specific date and with no confidence in the layoff to be completed in 90 days, I resigned and will be moving. My Controller and other friends suggested I still should apply for unemployment. Do you think I have a chance to still collect? I do have a paperwork with the original date and a copy of an emails explaining delays in layoffs as evidence. Thanks

What will going off estrogen birth control do to me?

I am not positive on this! but estrogen in birth control pills is what absorbs the extra testosterone in your system. This testosterone is what causes acne, so I would say going off of it will most likely break your skin out if you had bad acne before you went on birth control pills!

Can some one explain the 'up tick rule' and tell me if it is good for workers, and the economy?

You understand wrong. The uptick rule means that you cannot short sell a stock except when the trade price is higher than the previous trade price. This is neither good nor bad for the economy and doesn't have anything to do with layoffs. To the extent that it has any effect, it prevents short sellers from selling to people who have entered buy orders that are triggered by a sudden major down-draft in share price caused by the release of unfavorable news about the stock.
