unemployed elementary school teacher... currently working for a before and after school day care.
working on my masters in literacy, however, DH and I just got a new, super nifty professional camera for when the baby's here, and I'm finding myself more and more interested in how to do photography for real. May look into taking a class or two on the topic and look at doing photography part time after the baby comes. I'll probably tutor a little after too at my own pace.
if i could i would go back to school all together for pediatric nursing but DH and I have decided for me to be a SAHM for at least 2 years... and who knows... by then another bundle could be on the way LOL. so i'm gonna keep looking into this photography thing.
Nuclear Medicine Tech. It's nice because I was able to find a PRN job where I will work limited hours when the baby gets here.
Radiology jobs are pretty good jobs, but there is NO DEMAND for them right now so I would look into that where you live if it's anything at all you're interested in. I was stuck in a job I hated for several years until finally I was able to get my current position which I love.
I was originally in teaching (not long at all) and am now a graduate student working on my PhD in Physics (science PhD's typically come with a "salary").
What you can do depends on what type of teacher you are (subject and what degree you have). Of course, if you've been teaching for a while, you could also try working for a textbook company or becoming a curriculum specialist to get yourself out of the classroom. I saw some educational magazine writer jobs when I was looking that even allowed flexible work-schedule and work-from-home.

I did this for years and am now a Librarian. I loved the job & miss it sometimes, but it's not terribly 'family friendly'. Restaurant culture dictates if you're not living and breathing the restaurant, then you're not doing your best for the company. Now as a Librarian I get to help people find information for both leisure and enrichment. It's very satisfying. Depending on where you live, you may need a Masters Degree, but since our Library is so rural, they were happy to just have a college graduate with a strong background in research. Money is decent and hours are great!
