I just graduated from college, in, well, a bad economy. To help pay back my student loans I'm signing up to either become a substitute teacher or a paraprofessional (special aids assistant.) I've heard both have their benefits, but I'm not quite sure which is better. I'd also like to add, that I'm applying in Northern Illinois. I'm also applying to more than one school district for substitute teaching to try and obtain work everyday. The average rate is $100 a day for substitutes out here. I'm also working a second job in the evenings and on weekends that have offered to provide me with: medical insurance, dental insurance, and vision insurance. So benefits aren't too much of an issue.
--------------------
Generally - subs seem to have a better foot in the door for future teaching positions. The only exception would be if you were looking specifically for a special ed position. A paraprofessional would be better if you were looking for just a job - it would be less stressful - but if you are looking for a foot in the door; be a sub. It does several things: 1) Lets you become visible to many principals 2) Lets you "show-off" your abilities to work with kids 3) And give you the chance to become a long-term sub. Now...becoming a long-term sub is one of the crappiest jobs; all the responsibilities of a teacher w/o any of the real perks. HOWEVER - last year at my district, about 75% of the "new hires" were either teachers from another area, or long-term subs. My principal just hired the long term sub for a teacher that was on maternity and then decided to take a leave of absence. The sub that was her long-term sub got the full-time job.

where can i come up with alot of money in short time?
i need to come up with 10-20 thousand dollars within the next 2 months. the problem is im a disabled young woman in my 20s.i dont have money and i cannot work because of mobility trouble,i have a hard time walking and major health problems, nothing i can enter a medical trial just mainly a cardiac thing and bone fracture/muscle things and chronic pains. i have about 400 dollars saved up. i do not have a bank account right now. im living for free with my parents while i recuperate which will take a long time probably over a year or more. i get basic stuff like food and basic necessities for free, i do not own a car or any valuable gold or gem jewelery. i need to come up with charity for myself because i have a bad situation.i need to get my entire mouth redone.i have 90% of my teeth decayed and many missing and broken teeth. i look funny when i smile because of the missing teeth and im a young woman not an 8 yr old girl. i should not have missing teeth. i need root canals on 85% of all my teeth, ill need major cosmetic work, bridges, implants, caps, major dental reconstruction. and it has to be done by a good and well knowledged dentist who knows what they are doing. so chances are it will be expensive and the dental work will take like a year to get everything done. if i go to a cheap dentist or a less expensive one chances are they will tell me to have my teeth pulled and have dentures put in... thats not happening- as long as i come up with money i really do not want dentures at my young age. there are cosmetic things that can be done, just most dentists are not willing to do such extensive cosmetic work, or they will tell me to have partial dentures or something. i was told by a few less expensive dentists that they would need to do root canals on all my teeth and pull many teeth.. but i know this is not necessary i did find a dentist or two that are able to save my teeth and do excellent cosmetic densitry to rebuild my teeth, and they said some of my teeth do not need root canals and they are able to create white and perfect matching white teeth that will look real, white caps...not metal ones anyhow so i need to invest in good teeth, just the total amount to have them fixed with be 10's of thousands of dollars. dental insurance dosnt cover this to even get started on a few teeth it will be like 5 thousand dollars the first few visits, to have the bridegs and crowns name and to match my teeth shade so i need to come up with money. i need creative ways. i cannot work or walk very well. i have no family members willing to give me any money. i have no savings or inheritance from anyone. i cant take out a loan right now for another reason what are some ways i can make money i dont want to participate in any medical tests, do not want to give blood or any thing like that,i dont want to do anything illegal such as sell drugs, nothing that would risk my non exhistent criminal record, dignity or anything else how do i make a few thousand dollars if i cant work.i cant get workers compensation because i never had a job and i was a college student when i got injured

Apply for SSI if you haven't already it is for disabled adults who haven't worked enough for SSDI. The take up what work you are capable of like perhaps writing books. It won't be fast but you can work on days you feel well enough and don't need to walk to do it. If your body won't work correctly for you make money with your mind. Become an expert in something, maybe teach it. Things people might pay to learn would be playing an instrument, tutoring a hard subject like upper level college math classes, painting pictures, etc. Or do something at home like bookkeeper in the home or tax preparer or medical billings, writing resumes. You may not make thousands quick but you can in the long run earn a few thousand a year. Consider dental school they do discounted work and the students learn while teachers oversee the work so you have top quality care.

I need to see a dentist but I'm not able to?
I am in the lowest tax bracket there is. Its not because I;m lazy And don't work, Workk more than 45 or more hrs a week. I Have 2 kids and am a single mother so money is very tight. My job does not supply any kind of health or dental insurance nor can i afford togo too the dentist. My hrs at work also keep me from being able to wait in line for the free dental clinic that comes to the high school here . Can some one please refer me to a cheap dental plan or free clinic that is anywhere near tennessee

Hi, I'm an insurance agent out in California. I am not licensed in your state so please note that I am not trying to sell you insurance or advise you to go with a particular insurance carrier. I couldn't if I tried as I am not a Tennessee agent. Just trying to help out. You may want to check with Blue Cross Blue Shield in Tennessee or any other major insurance carrier. Most have low cost dental plans. These rates came off the BCBS of Tennessee webpage: "Monthly premiums are $26.50 for each adult and $14.60 for each dependent from age 2 through age 17" That might be hard for you, but the kids could get covered possibly. Google "Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee" or "UnitedHealthCare", or "Aetna", etc, get the 800 number, call them and discuss it with them. As you can see, those rates are probably lower than you imagined for dental insurance. See if they have any assistance programs if that is still too much. If that does not work for you, try contacting your state or local health agencies for advice on how to proceed. There are also "discount cards" out there that I have seen on the web. I don't know much about them, so can't really comment. I would tend to go through a reputable insurance carrier however. One thing you may try is calling a couple of local dentists and asking them what their "cash price" is. A lot of dentists (at least in California) have one price for people with insurance and another "cash price" which is lower. See if you can work a deal with a dentist...explain your situation, you may be surprised...there are some very nice dentists who realize things are hard out there and might be intersted in helping by reducing their fee...and getting a family of lifelong clients...things are tough for them too. Best of luck to you. Things will get better...they always do.

Crown lengthening ~ anyone had this done?
Let me start by saying I am a dental COWARD. I think I'm about as bad as can be, just short of avoiding the dentist altogether. One of my teeth broke a few months ago. Yesterday the dentist told me I would need to be referred to a peridontist who could do a crown lengthening - he says I need to have a piece of bone removed so he's better able to fit a crown. Altogether, even WITH dental insurance, this is expected to cost me around $800 or more. SO. My questions are.... 1. How painful is this? 2. Is it worth it? I mean, extractions are FREE on my dental plan, so I kind of wonder if I should just have it pulled. It's the second molar on my bottom left side. 3. How well did it work for you?? 4. Would you do it again?? THANK YOU!!
--------------------
It's not painful at all. They will numb you up the same way the dentist numbs you up for a filling. So besides the injection, you shouldn't feel any pain at all. And if you do, let them know and they will give you more anesthesia. It is definitely worth it. Extractions should be the last resort, if all other treatment has failed and the tooth can't be saved at all. Molar teeth are important for chewing. So if you get that 2nd molar tooth pulled, you won't be able to chew as well on your left side. And the top teeth that usually touch that molar tooth, once that molar is gone, the top tooth will start moving downwards into your mouth and you may eventually lose that tooth too if you don't do something to replace the bottom tooth (like a partial denture or an implant). Teeth stay in place because the top and bottom ones touch each other, and that force maintains them. If one is missing, the opposite one, without any opposing force, will start to move out of the jawbone. I can't stress how important it is to save your teeth if you can. I'm a dentist and I hate when I have to extract teeth that could have otherwise been saved. Hope that helps.

-Is it possible to start a funding to get my teeth fixed?
I had dental insurance on my job until they took it away. I'm currently looking for a supplemental dental plan my employer has supplied but for what I need done, I will have to wait months (my back tooth broke off and now is poking through the sides of my gums-I just want it pulled out). I want to start a fund to help me get my tooth pulled. Is that possible? Will I need permits and things like that? Thanks... oh and I checked the dental.plan com but the dentists in my area don't accept it. Thanks.
--------------------
I don't know but I do know, you can go to Dental Universities where the students will work on you under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. If you don't have enough funds, you can have them do it for free or for a much cheaper price.

Bottom of molar turning black but I brush my teeth... what the heck?
I dont understand. I brush my teeth twice a day. I dont floss like I should but many people dont and dont end up with their tooth decaying. On the other side a piece of my crown and actual tooth broke off but since I had a root canal it doesnt hurt. Im not trashy and brush my teeth. I NEVER drink cokes or other carbonated drinks and my sugar intake is very limited. I only chew sugar-free gum... I dont have dental insurance because I cant afford it and I am so scared to go to a dental school for reduced cost/free dental work because my brother had really bad results. My dad had really bad teeth - is this genetic? Help! Also, is there a way to keep the decay from spreading til I can get in to see a dentist?
--------------------
I'm glad you are not hurting, and you are right, since you had a root canal on that tooth you definately should not have any pain. However, you definately have a cavity. Here's the thing about crowns. There's a small ledge or lip where the crown meets the tooth. Bacteria that cause gum and tooth disease love to cling onto there, and that is a common area for decay. Even though you do not have pain there, the infection is there, and it will spread. Truely, there isn't any way to slow down the decay process once its begun. You could use an over the counter fluoride rinse like ACT for adults to keep your other teeth more resistant to decay. Here's the thing about cavities, once you have the bacteria in your mouth you have it for life. There's no way to sterilize the human mouth. Which brings me to your last question about heredity. The answer is babies are born without the cavity causing bacteria. It is in fact, tranmitted usually from a parent to baby from repetitive exposure from ,for example, tasting baby's food first to check temperature, or kissing baby. Cavities are actually a contagious disease, of which one day there will be a vaccination just like for Chicken Pox. People can be cavity prone if they eat things in high sugar, or acid contents. Also, sometimes has nothing to do with person's dietary habits, sometimes the person's salivary enzymes are not enough to protect the teeth. I rambled on a bit, but I hope I helped you. You do need to see a dentist to fix your tooth, as soon as possible.

Braces and Wisdom teeth - Financial issues?
I will be getting braces soon. My orthodontist recommended me to remove 4 of my wisdoms by going to be a specialist. Only 1 wisdom is partially out. The rest are impacted. I'm guessing that wisdom teeth extraction for all 4 might cost approx. 1000-1600 max. My braces is costing me 5K already, and that doesn't cover dental visits every 3 months. I'm guessing altogether=8K for 4 years including dental checkups. All this, and I have no dental insurance!!! I don't know how I am going to pay for all this, it's all too EXPENSIVE. To the point where I'm skeptical if I can afford this or should I just scratch the idea of getting braces?
--------------------
That's HORRIBLE, wow !~dentists really know how to rip ppl off, don't they? they should be regulated, those crazy thieves,sheesh! Guess w/financial issues pay them a 100$ per month until it's paid off, yea?
