Thank you for your detailed reply. In Germany it's almost as complicated - and it also varies from state to state.

*sigh*

It was probably a stupid idea anyway, but I was thinking of installing Xander in a High school as a coach or teacher, as unlikely as it may sound, in a small town in California that is ridiculously similar to Sunnydale. A tough sell, but now I realize that I also lack the vocabulary needed to describe the job situation convincingly....

Oh well, I better write it first, and then find a beta to iron out the kinks. :-)
Thank you very much!!!
