Come January, Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano needs a job.

Joel Kurth of the Detroit News reports that Ficano might start teaching at Wayne County Community College. But the college refuses to say whether he'll join the faculty in 2015. Ficano lost his bid this year for re-election.

“I cannot confirm nor deny Mr. Ficano’s teaching position at WCCCD,” said Tina Bassett, a spokeswoman for the community college, according to the News.

“I can say that any higher ed institution would be pleased to have him as he brings much knowledge and experience with 30 years of public service in top elected positions, I know our students would be interested in what he has to say.”

The News reports that there has been talk that Ficano will teach at least one political science class in January. The News also cites two unnamed county officials as saying  Ficano is interested, but is trying to see if there's a better job out there.
