WTBH - Just in case it's helpful in any way, I offer this idea that you may not have considered. My sister graduated summa *** laude in education and lasted 6 whole weeks in her 9th grade English class. Just didn't have the stamina to handle the rough kids. She applied for her county's non-profit Literacy Advance program and has been with them for 20 years now. She trains volunteers that teach adults to read and she loves it. Cool, huh?

Maybe there is a non-profit avenue you could pursue? I think there are even a few websites that post only non-profit job openings. The money is not always horrible! My friend was making $90K/year as executive director for a teen drug treatment program here in my town, and her assistant made $45K.

I wish you all the luck in the world. These are very trying times. (((Hugs)))
