i'm sorry to hear that. How much do they pay you, $40k? At least you get summers off and some extended holidays. I can't imagine getting forever-loans to pay to be educated in order to be a public school teacher.

Anyway, you shoudl just conisder it a job that puts food on the table until you can do something else. Best part is, you have your weekends and nights. Make sure you don't assign too much work that will make you work nights grading shit.

Next thing you are going to do is hustle, not so you can be debt free. But so you can start a small business that makes a shit ton more money than your current occupation. Being able to pay off the student loans is a bonus. Even more of a bonus is if you do a cash-heavy.

I'd say start walking door to door and offer to stain fences and decks. You can already see who has a fence visually from the public road so already you have a 50/50 chance of a sale. You have to pressure wash the wood before you stain so offer to pressure wash other stuff or clean the gutters. Offer to come back yearly to clean the gutters/trim stuff/pressure wash stuff. Remember, you want a subscription service. Staining wood is a one time thing. But maybe word of mouth provides you with more work you can handle and you no longer need to upsell. Staining wood is easy as fuck with a spray gun, it appears.

Get to the point you can get 75% of your teaching salary through your side hustle, then quit teaching and dedicate all efforts to now primary hustle.
