13. Volunteer to teach adults! I started and it is the most rewarding work you will ever do!

I am doing adult literacy. It is a disgrace how US high schools graduate people who can not read, because of learning disabilities and then they have to find strategies to hide it on the job. Plus, there are people from Mexico (legals) who never got to finish more than a couple of years of school. Their wages will never rise if they do not learn to read and write.

Where I am volunteering, one trainer works with one to three people. These are not fidgety kids. They want to learn, and they learn quickly. All they need is someone to teach. A lot of someones.

Volunteer.
