My son has been trying to get a teaching position for a couple of years. He subs, both short term and long term, at a school close to him. He also works 25-30 hours a week at Best Buy nights. When he subs long term. he's paid a teacher's salary. He was offered a job in another district where he would have to prepare five lesson plans every day--currently it's only two or three on long-term assignments--for not a lot of money. If he subs, long-term, for two semesters he'll make 60% of what the other job would pay for the whole year. The district where he subs has teachers and administrators helping/referring him to other schools and districts for opening teaching positions. There are at least a couple of openings in the districts in the future.
He called last night looking for advice, although I think it was more confirmation of what he had already decided--to stick with the sub. It's a short term loss but with long-term gains if he can teach where he wants for higher pay. He'll have time to get certified to teach math over the winter and there are more math openings than science/chemistry. I told him to do what he thinks is best for him and that there are more important things than money. Others are telling him a job in hand is worth .... What would you have advised your son in a similar situation?

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
