It isn't the kids. It's the Sunday nights that start on Saturday afternoon. It's grading at nine, buying your own supplies, and a salary schedule that already told you what you'll be worth in ten years.
Here's what nobody mentions when they tell you to hang in there: leaving doesn't have to mean another job with a different principal. There's a version where you work for yourself. Your own tutoring at your own rates. The curriculum you've been handing out free for years, sold to teachers and districts instead. Training and PD you run. Contract work for companies who need someone who can actually teach.
You'd start it on evenings and weekends while you're still teaching, and leave when it covers you.
So the only real question is how much it would have to make. Two numbers and you'll know.
Say it's $4,200 a month and 10 hours a week. That's $138 an hour, once you've set aside 30% of it for tax.
It doesn't cover what the business itself costs to run — software, insurance, materials, whatever your version needs. That comes out on top.
That can look impossible at first, and it's worth knowing why it isn't what it seems. Nobody is hiring you at that rate. It's the price your own work would carry, and prices for packaged work don't sit on the same scale as salaries. You'll see where your number lands against the kinds of work that get priced that way.
Whether it's reachable for tutoring, curriculum, or training where you actually live is a real question, and it's the one the report answers. Three specific ideas drawn from what you already do, each researched against live sources you can check, with a range for what it could be earning by month twelve and what would have to change for it to cover your month.
