There is a website where you can sell your lesson plans to other teachers. It was famous a few years ago when the top selling teacher was making millions a year. If you're as good as you believe you are, then try that route.

There's also www.autismeducators.com, which is a smaller site, but the same convent as TpT, with more of a focus on students with learning disabilities.
Also, it's very hard to make money on these sites... you almost have to do this like a full time job to really see any profit. However, if you already have really good and creative lesson plans, it's easy enough to put on the sites.
You "out of towners" make me laugh. All of you think it's so easy to just get a job here and you don't seem to realize that for every one job opened, there is at least 100 applicants per one job opening even if it's just for a minimum wage job! Everyone comes here for a "dream job" but gets a good slap in the face when they actually do move here and start looking for work. Nyc public school system sucks, yes, but it's like teachers don't actually work here anymore. You get all summer off plus you get 25 days off during the school year for "holidays". You get like 1/2 the year off! Nyc school teachers make nice pensions and get like 3 months off for maternity leave!

Such original remarks. But, I'll go ahead and take a bite of the bait...
You too can have all those "perks", if you'd like to work with children. Wait, what? You're not rushing to take this opportunity? Everything ain't for everybody. You can also put an end to teachers taking advantage by homeschooling your children (no, seriously, there are some awesome homeschool groups out there, and (gasp) I used to teach for them).
I've worked both in formal and informal education and also have taught adults. I've also worked in industry. All have their pros and cons. And while its nice to sit in an office at a desk, perhaps taking a moment (or a hundred) to post on messageboards at work, and not have to worry about classroom management( to a degree), duties, irritating parents, and grading, being in the classroom pays better. And I like things like light, heat , and hot water. I like to pay my other bills as well. I'm not volunteering my time (although it will come out as such anyway). I have a particular set of skills lol and best believe I want to be compensated for it. I look at it as hazard pay.
And yeah thank you for those days off. They come in handy.

You know more than half of the people at the school I worked at were from "out of town." I was born and raised here but I'm not sure why that should matter in terms of getting a job.
If it was so great, so many of them would have stayed in teaching. Almost everyone I worked with has left the system.
