The letter advice worked; the dean said she will write it this week so inshAllah the employer will accept it.
I already have a job in a pharmacy and also as a substitute teacher, so that’s what I would have to do if I can’t teach. It just bruises the self-esteem a bit though, cuz they are the same jobs I had 4 years ago.

you guys are right about med school i guess; my mom read my mind and said “shaadi waadi ko chor-abhi se doctor ban le, phir tujhe acha se acha rishta bhi mil jayega!” then she said, “mein khud chun kar laoongi”. that was NOT reassuring
anyway u guys are sooo helpful 
the thing i like about gupshup is that there are so many names; i could be arguing vehemently in one thread with a person and in the next thread help them without knowing it. that rarely happens in real life, if ever!
