Jobless again

Well, I feel like I am joining the ranks of all the traditional age college students who have recently graduated and cannot find a job. I just pulled a three month stint at a local High School. Took over for a teacher who retired and was hoping the budget cuts would allow me to stay. The thing is, as a new teacher, I was already making less than the retiring teacher so why did they have to cut me? Anyway, I think it is going to be tough to find anything now with so many experienced teachers looking for jobs as well. I had an interview Monday, two assistant principals and the principal all present at first. Maybe I am exaggerating but it seems that they did not realize I only had three months experience until we were in the conference room. Then, the principal got up and left the room! Of course, the other two stayed but still...How obvious of an answer is that?
Now I am four classes into an MFA and rethinking. Maybe I should switch to an MS in Educational and Instructional Technology. It seems like on-line is the wave of the future...
