I feel horribly embarrassed going from future college professor
Your original thread stated you were looking at getting a Ph.D. in English education. As you're well aware that isn't the best paying job out there, and adjuncts make very little.
One never knows of course, but playing the odds it sounds like not racking up debt to pursue a degree that doesn't pay very well was the better choice.
I have to think there are lots of good-paying technical writing jobs in Birmingham. Every one of those hospitals is trying to publish how great they are, for example.
Maybe also look into ... you know, English education. I bet there is an ESL school or two in the area.

My wife's mom does a bunch of tutoring all over NOVA. I have no idea how she does but it's a start to earn some bucks.

I'll also note that it sounds like you're really just getting started, and that's fine. It sure as hell was a confusing time for me too. But keep flailing around and you'll find a foothold, and then a career. It may not be what you'd planned on, it sure as hell wasn't for me. But I'm fine with it and think you will be too.
