In my almost daily obsession with planning on upending my life to go back to England, I'm constantly thinking what I could potentially do if I ever do go there.

It's pretty tough since all my qualifications are US-based due to my work and thus irrelevant in the UK (You can't teach without a PGCE/QTS, which I never needed outside of UK).

Combined with the fact that salaries in the UK are half or even 3 times less than in other comparably developed nations, and living expenses higher, I feel like multiple hustles are likely the only way every day schmucks like me could survive there.

I'm a musician so I can probably find students to teach but unless I'm in a disgusting city that wouldn't be sustainable. I think it's cool that you can even consider such a broad range of different income directions! I'd certainly consider that some form of financial freedom in a way, given how I'll likely have to go from a high-paying, stable job here, to being on the dole over there.
