Next May I'm retiring from public education after 30 years in the classroom. I've enjoyed my career immensely but these days I am the polar opposite of what public education wants and stands for. I'm not ready to be "retired" in the traditional sense and still want to have earned income even though my pension is enough to live comfortably on. It seems like a good time for me to be leaving since there is a wealth of opportunity out there these days. Employers just can't seem to find people.
Anyway, I was looking for some advice from those on here in other fields. What jobs do you see as a great place to be in? Which are the absolute dregs and should be avoided? I should say I'm not going back to school to get another degree in anything. No way, no how. I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty but should state I don't really have any credentials in any other fields other than education and restaurant work. I am willing to learn though.
Thoughts?
