I've been homeschooling my kids for the past 6 years. And I am damn good at it. It is also absolutely my calling and my passion. But, I really wish I had a side hustle. Even working one day a week, or earning $100 a week would fulfill this need of mine. It doesn't have to be huge, or at least it doesn't have to start out huge.
Here's my story.....
Experience
-degree in liberal arts
-5 years studying, working, volunteering traveling abroad - a lot of teaching English- (Japan, China, India, Nepal, Australia etc)
-3 years experience in sales
Natural Talents
-writing
-teaching
I want a job because....
-it feels good to me to make money
-keep my resume current
-keep in touch with the culture of working and other adults
-insurance - I just don't think it is wise to be uncertain about how I would make money if I ever needed to
-it would make me feel important, or MORE important I should say, I already feel important
-part of our FIRE plan is for my husband and I to continue working when and if we want to - and I will have more time to do so then with him being home more, but I just don't know what to do.
More info:
-We don't NEED extra money. FIRE in 3 years and my husband's salary will carry us through until then.
-I have 4 kids so I likely wouldn't net much because of childcare. And I don't care.
-My kids are 6 and under so watching someone else's kiddos isn't really an option for now.
-I tried starting a homeschool blog. But realized to make money, the job was more marketing than writing so I let go of it.
Help! I feel so conflicted because I feel good at things and I feel smart but at the same time, I don't feel qualified to get paid for anything.
