Teacher with side gigs: Fastlane thinking works even with a job

[msufan]

Hey all! I'm an elementary teacher who has made $400K+ on the side over the past 15 years or so. I know keeping your day job isn't "the Fastlane" per se, but teaching is a meaningful job that I enjoy, and it has opened lots of doors for side gigs along the way.

For anyone curious, my side gigs include:

• Skill gaming/finding +EV gaming opportunities ($275K)
• Running various educational websites for kids ($125K)
• Tutoring/group educational camps for kids in the summer ($15K in 2 years)

Hopefully you all can live with a slowlaner who gleans lots of value from parts of the fastlane mindset.
