Post Teaching Career

I'm sort of in the same boat with my fiancé, and we have a couple of ideas, though not all are applicable in your situation.

A) Start a small social media business. There are many businesses out there that want to be on social media, but they are awful or lack the knowledge. Or they are older. There are companies that specialize in this but charge nearly $250-$500/month, which is ridiculous. She could charge $100/month and do just as good a job. Couple posts a week, show progress (more likes/friends/tags/etc).

B) We will begin a nannying/babysitting biz at local condos this summer in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores. I'm expecting great things from that. She could do the same in Lafayette, but I'm not sure the results would be the same.

C) Retail at a local boutique or children's clothing store.

If she makes her own material for class (lectures, tests, activities, etc), she can sell them on TeachersPayTeachers.com

If she enjoys making materials but not as much the day care aspects of teaching, she could get a masters and be a curriculum coach (helps other teachers with the curriculum on a school or grade level basis), be a tutor (one on one teaching can be less stressful), be a home school teacher (tough to find, but very low stress), or try for administrative roles in the school system. She could also be a para (helps teacher in classroom, but not responsible for everything, and makes less money)

We've done the tutoring gig for the past two years. It's just so inconsistent. She really likes doing that but not much business here.

Also thinking about healthcare and electronic medical records, I think all new clinical hires have to take a class on how to use the systems.

This could be a possibility, but hospitals typically try to hire someone with some sort of healthcare background. Teaching would fit well with instructional design or technical writing role.
