I worked at a supplemental learning center. Parents would bring their kids after school or on weekends for 1 hour/week. We were the master keys that unlocked every mind. We adapted to each student by neurologically profiling each one of them. It's a heavy investment but the payoff was there as our students dominated national math and critical thinking test competitions.

That gig didn't exactly leave me flush with cash though so eventually I started working as an engineer in the construction industry.

The research bender has led to some truly incredible breakthroughs and insights into human religion, history, and cosmology. Unfortunately the overlap between math/science people and woo woo people is slim but the overlap of those two sets has excellent representation within the DemystifySci community. I think I have something important here in my research so I figured I'd better test my worldview with some polymath renaissance scientist types and see what they think. If I get laughed out of the room, well maybe I've got something wrong. So far, so good.
