Hello!
First time posting. I work as a para and the pay is awful. Does anyone know any similar positions that have a better pay OR side hustles for teachers? I am already doing Lyft and Door dash. I am looking for another position or similar jobs with higher pay.
It has been very difficult to budget with barely any money as a paraprofessional. As many of the teachers today, we are gaining more students without ANY support. I appreciate any advice or assistance.
Thank you!!!

Unfortunately, jobs working with children are not very lucrative. If you like working with children with disabilities, maybe you would like to try working as a behavior tech. Many companies are looking for people.

In my experience, schools put all of their money into paying teachers. Unions are always maximally self-interested, and the teachers' unions have more sway than any other union in a school. I get it, but it sure does feel bad knowing that my friends who are aides and maintenance crew make so little money.

To the person asking where to tutor. My mom is trying to start a non profit with Orrin Gillingham Method and we need teachers when we get a space leased out and donations. It’s called One on One Tutoring and each lesson is individualized and has been scientifically proven to help children struggling to read and write whether it’s ADHD or Dyslexia. We want to help these kids become literate so they can have a better future.

I donate plasma 2 x's week. Check out the plasma centers in your area. Sometimes they have a promotion for the first few times you donate. Also, sometimes you may receive a bonus for referring others that sign up. It's a win for me and a win for others that need plasma for health reasons.

Thank you! I did do that for a while! I will have to try to get into that again!
