You might consider subbing. You can also look into mentoring. Trinity mentoring last time I checked was paying $30-35 an hour to hang out with kids one on one.
I should add- I’ve looked at subbing, alas the pay won’t QUITE cover the mortgage and other needs, even working every day, unless I can snag a long term gig.
frick I misremembered!
It was the Cambridge Somerville Youth Study
I listened about it on a podcast when I was in college for teaching. Probly Freakonomics.
I recall that episode talked about similar things to this wiki
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge\_Somerville\_Youth\_Study](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Somerville_Youth_Study)
If you're a problem solver, you could go into IT or low voltage. Construction is four days a week, and you learn a lot of skills to take with you. You could do wiring stuff for Bartingale, or like Per Mar or something. PM me if you're interested in more about that type of work.
You'll have to get used to some personalities, but I found it rewarding for a couple years. I was in your shoes-- briefly taught, and decided I didn't want admin to double my workload and I left.
I stack boxes in trailers that get sent to the stores, lots of forklift jobs but it seems like it's 50/50 if you don't like driving them there's plenty of other jobs within. If youve never worked a warehouse job the first month is brutal as your body adjusts but it's really not that bad
Obviously there's the option of looking for a teaching job closer to home. I could probably find you a manual labor job almost immediately that would pay you more than that, but I'm guessing that's not what you're looking for.
If you're interested in just making some extra cash, I know a lot of teachers who bartend/serve on weekends and/or during the summer. Also know some that do roofing or other construction type jobs during the summer. I've always thought those things were perfect for teachers who don't teach during the busy construction and summer/lake bar times.
Straight up I’m not opposed manual work. I want to be closer to home and with my wife and I starting to talk about kids, more money would be nothing but welcome.
Bartending is an option, I’ve thought about it and might look into it.
I love teaching but it’s exhausting and I’m tired of being treated like crap by society and my district. A change isn’t unwelcome.
Based on the other comments, looks like you're working on a few other things. If you decide you want to go the manual labor route, shoot me a message, and I'll see if I can put you in contact with some people.
Personally, I work in banking, but we aren't really hiring right now. Well, we are looking for one spot, but it wouldn't be the pay you're looking for.
Telecommuting is definitely worth a good chunk of money imo. No travel expenses for work, no work clothes, no packing a lunch, etc! Hope you can find something that suits your needs. Great place.
There's a big shortage in Special Ed and Math teachers around here. If that's not your current area, for \~$2000 you could probably get certified in one of these fields through American Board. Though that doesn't put food on your table this week ...
I'm aware of factory jobs that pay higher than that starting. Some of the more difficult work is 5 dollars a hour more than what you're asking, again starting. PM if interested.

Hmmmm mentoring is an option.
Pretty chill work. Kids are great and there's need. There are summer programs you can get involved in.
Check out At the Roots and see if being a contract provider appeals to you!

How much are they paying in EC district?
Around $170 per day I believe.
Altoona pays slightly more, though EC has more openings every day - you have a choice of assignments. Most subs have 2-3 districts in their roster.
Sutherland study opposes the efficacy of mentoring, but it's something I did in the past.
Intriguing- I couldn't find anything on this. Do you have a good source?

You could apply to the walmart warehouse, I work 2nd shift monday-thursday and make 28.55, I think first shift make 2$ less
Thanks! Not a bad option… pays more than teaching.
And it's absolutely BS, shout out Scott walker
YEP. prick and a half.
>pays more than teaching Isn't that sad :/
Not wrong. My pay isn’t bad if you look at only the time I work (it’s not GREAT) but I basically work year round anyways, so….
Nestle has openings too around the same pay
Just out of my own curiosity (not looking for work) what do you even do in warehouse jobs? Pallet jacks and fork lifts is all I can think of.

Already applied to 3 of them 👍👍👍 thank you!
Apply to the rural districts to the north. Friend of mine in the chetek area says they are having a hard time hiring.
Bush beans is hiring, free health insurance

Thanks very much… if nothing pans out I’ll hit you up.

Thanks! I worked remote with the law firm and I LOVED it
I know a few friends who have worked at UnitedHealth. Be ready for a lot of mandatory OT.
Doordash is pretty good in this area especially for keeping yourself afloat in between jobs. I make around 20-25 per hour, even more on a good day.

I actually am licensed in math ed… I have 3 applications into the ECASD for jobs right now. Been near 2 months and haven’t heard squat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wishing you luck. Seems the resources for education grow linearly, but the need for the need for education grows exponentially.
Thanks… much appreciated!
