So $24,000pa, based on a 200 day school year (I am not sure if most school districts' years are even that long). NC used to be known for ranking 49th in starting teachers pay levels, that was about ten years ago, when starting pay was around $32,000pa IRC. …. In other words, in 2019 $24,000pa in California isn't even subsistence level pay!

She considers herself too young to retire and is looking at going into something close to every teachers heart, alcohol! Specifically, brewing beer!!

From what I understand, community colleges, colleges, and universities are not tied to the teaching license requirements of public (state-funded) schools, so there may be teaching opportuinies there for you. If you're not familiar with them, community colleges operate like a combination of sixth form colleges and technical colleges, teaching mostly local people both basic academics - English, maths, Spanish, history, science etc, for people who for whatever reason didn't complete their high school diploma at 18, and/or trade skills - plumbing, carpentry, heating/air, hairdressing, car mechanics, etc. Also private schools, which is a very mixed bag in the US, can also hire without regard to teaching license requirements.
