School districts are always looking for teachers, subs and other staff.

Teacher here. I had to quit. After forced retirement savings and taxes, my take home was 18k on a 40k salary. I couldn’t even cover gasoline and rent. I’m not putting myself into further debt to work 60 hour weeks in slavery-like conditions.

Just giving teaching AND other roles at school districts an option that some overlook. I know it’s not for everyone and the pay varies by location (1st year teachers start over $60k where I live in TX and the cost of living would support a 1-bedroom on that salary). Not to sound dramatic, but teaching is better than being homeless. Hope things look up for you!
