Doubleshot,
I have applied to a dozen teaching positions that didn't require me to have a license over the past couple of years with no luck. I even applied to be an ISS teacher and couldn't get hired for that. I've just been reading articles and books to keep up to date in the topics I'm interested in. I've been working some really crappy jobs but they pay well and have been saving for grad school tuition. Trying not to go into crushing debt. I applied to UChicago, Vanderbilt, Georgia State and UNC Charlotte.
