Although your salary is based on 9.5 months work, you are free
to earn additional money during the summer months , if you
choose
to do so. There are many such opportunities for teachers.
For example:
1) Many work as counsellors, head counsellors, and
camp directors getting an extra $5000 or more for the summer.
2) Many work with travel agencies leading tours throughout
the world.
3) Many work in summer schools.
4) Many are self employed selling insurance, real estate,
authoring
and publishing, tutoring, and thousands of other opportunities
that are impossible for others with full time jobs.
If you are lucky enough to have the 2.5 months for a vacation, get
off
your personal crusade long enough to recruit your friends
into
the teaching field .......... where you work only 9.5 months for a
full year salary .
