Then go to East Orange or Newark... Both pay higher 😀

Absolutely. Contact the Plainfield Police and ask about gangs and number of arrests in the school you're assigned to for a better idea of what's in store for you. I believe Scotch Plains might still have a vacancy in your area.... nearby, and much better district.

Even if you get stuck at Maxson it's a good jumping off point to other NJ schools. Plainfield has a very high teacher turnover rate and makes licensing and onboarding a breeze. Pro-Tip: Start looking at better school districts on the first day of work. Good luck.

Passing by Newark? Just off 78 and 22 is Do Mario, 223 Wright St, Newark... Wholesaler but also open to the public. Great quality & prices... They'll cut it how you like it. Often need to buy large size on some cuts.

Check out rent control towns so your rent doesn't get unfairly jacked up every year. Certain nice buildings in Morristown fit the bill... including Hamilton Court and Blair House and a few on Kemble. All are in or near downtown Mo-town.
