Career Options

So I'm thinking that I need to get a new career.  (Not really kidding by the way).  Considering what's happening in Ohio with Kasich as governor and what he's trying to do to teachers (and all public employees) I'm thinking that if Senate Bill 5 goes through, I'll be fired lickity split anyway so I should probably get my ducks in order. 

By the way - can I just spout off here for a minute?  Why do teachers get such a bad wrap?  Why when the state goes into the crapper and everyone gets all freaked out and pissed off about school funding, why do the teachers get punished?  Why do we have to suffer the mistakes that these stupid f&%king politicians got us into in the first place?  Why when they want to "fix" something, don't they fix the actual problem:  Public school funding.  Aren't we better served if we work diligently to raise every person’s standard of living rather than working to reduce the standard of living for ANY group of workers in Ohio.  Ugh!

So anyway - looking at possible alternative jobs for teaching, I found a site suggesting the following:

Consider becoming a professional organizer - I wonder if Jim could hire me for about $75,000 - that would make it worth my while, that's for sure.  It'd be a full--time job but I wouldn't get summers off. 

Become a writer - Oh, okay.  Done!  Gee, that was easy!  Like I hadn't thought of that!  This is my dream "job" by the way but the likelihood of me getting published and actually making any money  is probably equivalent to me hitting the lottery.  Plus - I need a job RIGHT NOW which will match or exceed my current salary. 

Consider becoming a translator - Um, how many people out there are looking for translators that speak stupid or retard?  Cause that's the only "foreign" language I speak. 

Transfer your hobby into a career - I wonder what the going rate is for professional couch potatoes...cause I'd be really good at that. 

K - now that I'm in a deep depression, I'm going to crack open a magnum of wine.  Boo hoo!
