If he would have waited till December or specifically May 2016, when the Pre-k & under officially closes....then yes. I would be the only program left and BAM it would be like he never existed. I would take over by default.
....BUT....
Since he's leaving alarmingly so soon, Pre-K & under is still going and I need at least a degree in education to fill his spot. I merely have just the "at work" experience. So sadly no.
I am curious to see who they will bring in or throw in to that spot. I need to make it to October at least to get my 1yr in but then again, I like my job position and won't get it anywhere else if I apply else where. So who knows...Comment

Do you *need* or is that what they want? I would apply for it anyways. Play up your experience, what you've been doing above and beyond your job (I think I recall you saying that you were doing a lot of his work already?), etc. If he bailed on them with little notice, you may be in the right place at the right time.
Go for it!Comment

Unless it's part of a legal requirement qualifications are negotiable just like any other part of a job. From the outset tell them how you would handle the biggest problems they don't want to have to deal with. I'll bet the definition of "qualified" will change pretty quickly.Comment

Yup. Our local library went from requiring someone with a Masters degree for their director position to requiring practical library experience. The couple of people they had with masters were awful - the lady with the Associates degree and actual experience did a better job... You never know!Comment

Another thing i'm unsure of actually.
He was not even technically qualified for his own job, his education degree is in Spanish & PE. They just saw the Education part and just gave it to him. He's been "winging it" ever since. Same with the program director position they threw on him (that he didn't want & pushed him to quit). No experience, just good at "putting out fires". They had 3 months to find hire someone, but they never do. They just throw it at anyone who remotely knows anything about it. I've been asked numerous of times to substitute for Child Watch & do art classes based merely on the fact that I work with kids. It's just how this YMCA works.
He's on vacation this week, ironically. I'm awaiting his return for him to tell me he's leaving (try to act shocked) and then i'll throw my hat in. I mean, at least I can try!
Thanks for the support guys (gals)!Comment

This was the problem my husband had when looking for work a few years back. He has 20+ years working in warehousing/inventory control/ logistics and he rightly expected to paid according to his experience. But the majority of the companies he interviewed with said that they "needed" someone with a degree. I agree with Thriftylady. Businesses will usually go with the "fresh out of college with little to no experience" candidate because it's cheaper.Comment

I really wish people would understand that I don't automatically want to watch their children when I'm not working. My neighbor texted me at 7AM this morning to ask if I could watch her daughter from 8AM until 10PM tonight. Not happening. The girl is really sweet, but I just worked ~45 hours with children this week and a ton of staff were out with various illness, so I WORKED those hours.
I also had a DCG3 come in yesterday with a short skirt on and no underwear. Which I noticed when she laid down on the floor and spread her legs for me and another parent, who was dropping off their child, to see. And, of course, she had no extra clothes here so I put her in a pull-up and the ugliest pair of daycare shorts I could find. When I confronted DCD about it at pickup, he said "Well, she told me she didn't want to wear underwear today." Why would you ever think it's okay to give your 3 year old the option of not wearing underwear under her skirt????Comment
