I'm torn: on the one hand, we don't want to turn any genuine applicant 
away.  On the other hand, we don't want it to be *too* easy for people 
to say, "Oh yeah, I'll teach," and then not show up.  In reality, we're 
going to continue to make a gut call based on how likely we think it is 
that our investment in training will pay off...
