Big news, Bettys: KATE GOSSELIN GOT A JOB. And it’s not in TV. Gasp! A “real” job? Surely not!

But yes: According to E!, Access Hollywood, the Daily Mail, and pretty much every other entertainment news source out there, the former Kate Plus 8 star has gotten a job, and guess what? She’s a blogger now! Kate has signed on to write for the website CouponCabin.com. In her weekly features, she’ll be offering money-saving advice on such topics as stretching budgets for large family, holiday shopping, gift ideas, and more. Said Kate in CouponCabin’s official release, “No matter what your financial situation is, there’s no reason not to use coupons. It’s like free money in your pocket!”

Kate’s first post will appear on November 22, two days before Thanksgiving. The topic? How to handle Black Friday, of course. As fellow bloggers, we here at BettyConfidential welcome you to the ranks, Kate. Do us proud.

You know, it’s nice to see that Kate has finally moved on from that whole “NO! I MUST STAY IN TV NO MATTER WHAT!” state of mind. Finding a job in this economy isn’t easy, and odds are, you’re going to end up doing something you hadn’t thought you’d be doing, simply because it’s what will pay the bills. Believe me. I’ve been there. Unemployment is a bitch, and it’s not necessarily your “fault” that it’s where you’re at. But flexibility of thinking is a good skill to have no matter what, and it’s good to know that she’s starting to exercise it. And hey, she can still capitalize off of her reality fame in her new line of work, right?

She might even be able to use her new gig to springboard back into television. I hear Extreme Couponing is pretty hot these days. Maybe they could use her couponing expertise?
