What Should I do?

You have been a teacher for 15 years and you don’t want to change jobs, you can’t move to a different area which has more opportunity, and you cannot get another degree because it would cost too much.

You do indeed sound stuck. Since the additional degree is too expensive it is not an option for you. If you need a full time job and want to stay in the same area, but there are no teacher jobs available, then you need to be willing to work in a different job. Sometimes we have to do work that we do not like in order to pay the bills and be able to afford to live (either basically or comfortably). My suggestion would be to look around for jobs that you would be capable of doing which would pay you the amount of money you need to make. If you have to stay in a certain area then you need to be flexible in what you are willing to do for a living. You may find that you enjoy doing something other than teaching.

Good Luck
