The Teaching Profession Offers Work Financial Stability
Three side hustles came from my teaching career.
Teaching won’t get you rich, but working at it long enough can provide financial stability. I’ve always heard from secondhand sources that the benefits of teaching in a public school offer stability that the private school or private sector doesn’t.
I just recently checked on those benefits. It does offer financial stability. My teaching job helped me invest in real estate, create a separate retirement nest egg, and combine benefits with public school teaching.
Because of teaching, I also created two online side hustles related to education and a tutoring business. I have a Teachers Pay Teachers storefront and six mathematics workbooks on KDP on Amazon.
The teaching profession wasn’t easy; it was a grind for 25-plus years. Being a teacher also helped me create a tutoring business from 2012 - 2022. I don’t run a tutoring business anymore, but still tutor online through Wyzant tutoring.
I owe three online side hustles to my teaching career. Teaching is a rewarding profession but can also be mentally draining and exhausting. Now, in my 25-plus years of teaching, I divide my side hustle time freelance writing with teaching and my other educational side hustles.
I've created a separate newsletter within my Teaching, Writing, and Side Hustle newsletter. Check out the newsletter section at the top bar of my page.
Feel free to check out my articles on Substack with freelance writing. If you are interested in the educational part of my newsletter, feel free to contact me.
Happy reading!
