She was a snowboard instructor for two years and has been a swim instructor for two years (and counting). She loves to teach.
High school is the current plan. It's the easiest one in terms of time off. You get basically an extra six weeks off because of exams, so she should be sitting pretty with about four months off a year.
Family member teaches English in high school and told her about another hack...you go to Edmonton to mark diplomas if you want easy extra cash.
While no career is easy, teaching is not hard and the time off is extraordinary. It'll set her up for a super chill life with a short career and amazing pension. She'll never have a financial worry or have food/money insecurity for her entire life. My grandma was a teacher, retired at 50 and lived another 49 years with free money rolling in. So stoked to see my daughter on this career path.
