Ahhh! I am getting frustrated!!! I graduated with a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I knew it would be hard to find a job and right now I am working at a daycare... blah. I worked at a daycare all through college and I am SOOO over it! I dont make much at all!! At what point do I say enough is enough and find a job in another area to make more money? I just really dont know what to do!! Any advise, help? JOBS? LOL

The job market for ECE majors is unbelievably tight.
This site posts job listings (that's all I'd use it for) http://www.effronassociates.com/index.asp and once in a while one comes up for your field. There's also ohioteachingjobs.org and postings on ODE's website. Be willing to work in less desirable jobs- they'll at least get you experience. You never know, you may like it! Also, have you looked into KY or IN? I know some folks who have had more luck there.
If you still don't have a job come August, I'd get your name on a few sub lists for districts near your home. Be willing to work any grade level, do a good job, and maybe you'll land a long term sub job that could lead to a fulltime position. It's not the best, but you can at least get your foot in the door. I think sub pay in my district is around $88/day. The more consecutive days you work, the more money you can make (up to a first year teacher's salary).
The other thing you could do is go and get a supplement to your license- whether it be a reading or math specialist, or special ed. Anything that makes you more marketable could help you get your foot in the door. It's a really tough market right now. Try to stay positive that something will come your way. GL!
