2. Education coach: good gig if you can get it.

They're mandated under NCLB, and they get paid big bucks. At my old school, closed due to budget deficit, we paid each one of our coaches $60K a year, all three of them. The year before that, we had five from the same company. That's just at the high school/middle school. Hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted, and these were the idiots who thought up closing our high school which is now having deleterious effects trickling down through the rest of the system.
