Other options... sell real estate, project manager, training, hr. In the dc area it will be hard without another degree at this point.

This is me as well, Op. I've been teaching middle school and encountered a horrible admin and harassment this year. I'm still applying at other schools but half heartedly and I don't know what to do. I'd love to work with educational programs, applying for a job as an associate editor at a kids magazine in my field, but all these seem quite competitive.

Working as an administrator at an educational nonprofit, or summer camp/program. I know a few teachers who have gone into curriculum development for educational publishers.

Thats funny that you mention this because I dropped out of nursing school to eventually go into an education program.

K12 allows you to teach online. If your issue was with admin. and harassment, that's one way to stay in teaching without the other annoyances.

I was a paralegal in the late 90s. I remember making 15/hr and only getting long and short term temp assignments so no benefits. What's the going rate now?

Try teaching in a private school--more respectful climate.
