What am I qualified for?

I am thinking about going to work tomorrow and DREADING it! I loved teaching for 10 years, but I just don't feel like I can do it anymore. These last 2 years in Georgia have been miserable. Beyond the daily work I just cannot handle getting up at 5 am anymore. I'm tired all the time and have a hard time going to bed at 9 pm.

I am giving up on the lottery (doesn't help that I don't play), so I need a new plan. I have a master's degree, but have no idea what kind of job I could get. Today's market is so bad it probably isn't a good idea to even try. I cannot even get a school transfer right now because of the economy.

I still need some ideas of things I can do in the future. What is a teacher qualified to do?

  1. Well, one thing I know is you will be an excellent mother. Helping my kids with their homework is a huge part of my day. I often wish I had the skills to teach them the concepts. I find myself getting frustrated with my inability to explain things in a way they understand. Other than that you're on your own. Speaking as a person who didn't even graduate high school, I don't know a lot about career choices. :)

  2. I always thought my husband would have to deal because as a teacher I'd be too intense... but I'm quickly finding out there are traditional gender roles that just seem to happen
