I am an unemployed elementary teacher looking to teach children while making some sort of an income. Any advice on this or any other online service/business I could start?

If you have a Masters Degree, you might qualify to teach for one of the Online universities. Univ of Phoenix is the largest. I have a friend who teaches online for them. They allow you to teach about 15-20 courses per year (max.), and the pay per course is about $1400. In other words, you can make about $20,000 or so. But, I also understand that they only accept people who are working full time
