A former high school teacher has shared how changing careers dramatically improved her finances. She says she now earns more in one month than she once made in a full year working in education.
She explained that her teaching salary was not enough to cover living costs and student loans. After years in the classroom, she began looking for other ways to earn extra income and decided to try an online content platform.
The change quickly transformed her financial situation. She says the income allowed her to pay off all student loans, car payments, and credit card debt in a short time. For her, becoming debt-free brought a strong sense of relief and security she never felt as a teacher.
Her side activity became public after school officials discovered it, which led to her leaving her teaching role. She says the content was not aimed at students and was shared anonymously. She also says she never promoted it to anyone connected to her school.
Although she misses teaching and her students, she says she does not regret her decision. She believes teachers are held to high standards but are often underpaid. Her story has reignited debate about teacher salaries, personal freedom, and the financial pressures many educators face.
