No vulagar suggestions, please. I'm currently a teacher, but I'm sick of working like a dog for a pittance. I have a Master's degree and am used to working like a fiend. What careers would you suggest? I don't want to sell my soul to the devil or anything ;-) but I do want to start making some real money. I would consider going back to school--if it were a something I could complete in three years or less.

Gosh... So quick to jump all over me... It was a typo, not a spelling mistake. (I may have clumsy fingers, but I can certainly spell fifth-grade vocabulary words.) Ease up, friend.

Hello there!
Just some quick info about me...I am a single mom, I have a jewelry business, very succesful over the past 6 months. The company has been in business over 50 years! I was also in school to be a teacher when Hurricane Katrina hit my home, I needed to make some real money and replenish what the Hurricane took from us. I would be happy to chat with you about an opportunity to make very good money without all of the time that one would put into a day job. There is no investment, no delivery, no internet bull and no catch. This is a legitimate company looking to hire a few enthusiastic people. Maybe one day I will finish school, but for now this is the best and most fun job that I have ever had. I have lots of free jewelry and the savings account is slowly rebuilding as well. If you are seriously thinking of taking on a part time job with full time pay, please feel free to email me at niki8@aol.com I would be happy to help you. Sincerely...Niki

Well ..... you should do what you would really enjoy doing. I can't imagine someone with a Master's degree working for a pittance. You may be working in the wrong location ...... many states have very high pay and very good benefits for someone with your qualifications.
But anyways ... you should do something you enjoy, If you think you may like selling REAL ESTATE .. OR WORKING IN FINANCE OR BUSINESS .... TRY A CAREER CHANGE.
But regardless of the career .... normally before you can start making some real money you have to work real hard and be real good at it.

You still be a teacher, but a teacher of teachers.
Education software is huge since it's usually bought by federal dollars. So if you're familiar with a particular software piece, check to see if that company is hiring. Teachers are good sales person for other teachers. Even software developers need teachers to come up with good questions/exercises that can aid a student's learning.
I think you should leverage your existing degree - Education has such a broad scope. I'm guessing you're in the public sector.. you can even give private schools a try for a chance of scenery.

If you're into this type of thing, I suggest that you consider becoming a park ranger (search the park ranger series 0025 under the National Park Service at usajobs.opm.gov). I'm one and I love my job. I'm also currently an education major (I don't have intentions to pursue a teaching career), but what I learn in my classes complement and parallel my everyday work.
Being a park ranger requires that you teach and inform, so you're already perfectly suited for the job. It isn't necessary to have an environmental background (it can't hurt either though), but park rangers come from a lot of different educational backgrounds, such as history, law enforcement, education, biology, geology, and architecture just to name a few.
Whatever you decide I wish you the best of luck.

How about substance abuse counselling, if you're emotionally and spiritually ready? That takes alot of the qualities a successful teacher must have. The payoff is well (pesonally & financially) if you build your buisiness. The work is not hard but building your base requires "Working like a fiend" for a few years!

M.Ed. usually translate well into the corporate world as a corporate trainer. Essentially a teacher, but instead of teaching grammar to kids it is teaching corporate policies to adults. Pay varies, but the opportunity for advancement in the HR field is present. Top level corporate trainers who work at a district or division level often make in excess of $100,000 for fortune 500 companies.
