To compensate for the loss of income, many teachers are finding it necessary to get a second job. Two most common jobs include:

• after school tutoring
• working at a commercial tutoring center

Working as a private tutor pays well, but it can be difficult to get the clientele. Working for a commercial tutoring center takes a lot less work but the pay is much less as well. Parents are also less likely to be willing to pay for a tutor if their job situation is shaky as it is for so many today.

Alternative job options for teachers

Teachers may have difficulty finding a good part-time job in a slow economy, but with a little creativity and a willingness to work hard, there are part-time jobs to be had. Learning to bake bread and sell it to other teachers is a great way to make a little extra money. Selling products for one of the many independent consultant companies such a Mary Kay is another way teachers can make extra money.
