No, I haven't been laid off, but everyone is being furloughed one day a week...meaning an unpaid day off, and that equates to a 20% pay cut.

Eeek.  That really sucks.  Hopefully it's only temporary.  -_-

The thing is, there's no guarantee that layoffs have ended. And rumour has it now that the President of the college is trying to jump ship. >_>

Nobody really knows what is going on, Gov...there are rumours of more layoffs this week, and maybe next month.

Yeah, there's not much in the way of taxi services here...people have their own transportation.

Provide online English tutoring to Chinese people. It's a thing. Whether it can make up $400 is something I don't know, but many of my friends have started doing it after our bursaries got gutted.

You can try what I'm going to do next school year, which is become a substitute teacher. I don't know about West Virginia, but here it's pretty easy to get a license (though a long process initially), subs are in high demand, and the pay is about $100 per day. Plus it's flexible in that you choose which days to accept work.

Better than California lol

Hmm, what Gerrick said sounds better. $100 per day means you should be able to reliably make up that $400 on those 4 days a month you get unpaid leave.

But with the online English tutoring thing, you find a company that does it (preferably one that allows you to do it from home), do a brief interview to display your language and conversation skills, and voila! You're in.
