There shouldn’t be any broke teachers… ever.

I spent 18 years as a classroom teacher, but didn’t put my finances first until it was almost too late. We have to change that. It starts with you!

Teachers are valuable. You are valuable.

I’m not talking about the “give me a hug” valuable, either. I mean “show me the money” valuable. Teacher skills pay well in the outside world. I learned that by accident.

Whether you’re teaching, thinking of teaching, a teacher deep in debt, a former teacher or a teacher formerly in debt—let’s banish the broke teacher syndrome…

EDIT: It’s now 2023. I started this a few years ago, before I left teaching. Then, after I left, I just wanted to decompress.

I noticed there were some strange things… “teacher things” I was doing years after leaving. Some were great. Who can handle twenty things at the same time, cut through red tape in any career without a single complaint, and operate on superhero level every day? A teacher or ex-teacher, that’s who.

But there were other things I noticed that weren’t so good. The longer I was out of the classroom, the more I noticed these strange things ex-teachers do. Although I promised myself, “No more teacher books… I’m just going to write about vegetables,” I feel another one coming. Stay tuned…
