If you're really interested in teaching, North Georgia College has a terrific post-bac program to get your certification. Only takes one year, most of the work is online with class sessions once a month. Then do your student teaching and you're good to go. With the emphasis on STEM in Gwinnett County schools, you should be able to find something fairly quickly.

I am actually working on an emergency safety course right now.
@ReliableOstrich,
I wouldn't mind talking to someone if they are willing. It doesn't hurt to explore options.
Bryanscho,
I will look at this too. I feel like this is something that I could fit right into.
I would prefer partnering with someone, since I have not tried it before. I have done some painting / sheetrock / tiling / hardwoods / plumbing / landscaping, but would need to get contractors for other things like electrical / roofing and other major construction.
Nole Buddies,
I appreciate all of the ideas that you guys have come up with, even the ones that were very comical! There are a number of them that I would like to explore further to see if they are actually feasible. I have already talked with NoleDaddy and would like to see if ReliableOstrich, Bryanscho, and DanC78 can give me more information about their ideas too (posts above). Thanks!

That rings a bell, I work on my own as an expert witness am busy 25% of the time and make more than when I managed a hundred people. But I suppose my field is highly litigious not so with meteriology.
Chimp, Johney gives good advice think about tieing on with a local or state emergency operations center. You have knowledge and skills that are very valuable.
I wouldn't mind looking into that either, but really don't have any connections here in Atlanta.
That's what I did, left IT and went to nursing aside from turning down all night lingerie invites.
Best thing I ever did, also I planning to move from pure bedside nursing into Nursing Informatics since there is a definite need for someone who can straddle both fields.
Just a thought but I've noticed a definite hard correlation between pain levels/migraines and changes in atmospheric pressure.
That was exactly my thought as well. My mom worked as PR for FL's Dept of Emergency Management and they rely on weather for much of what they do. Surely they have/need people in house vs calling NOAA all the time.
Edit -- even if it isn't as an in-house analyst/modeler/weather guru, wouldn't your on air experience qualify you for PR type positions?

Yes, I talked to Delta, but they usually only have an average of one opening every 2-3 years it seems. My old supervisor from TWC worked there and couldn't help me.
