Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her.

Edit: To those basically saying she had it coming because she made her OF account public...

Sex work is real, valid work.
There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
"But her students could find her OF!" is a problem their parents should have to solve. It is not her responsibility to use an alias, because of points 1 and 2.
Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.

You're missing the forest for the trees. Teachers need to be paid more so that they can actually support themselves. Making derisive comments about people moving to other careers because they pay better is just attacking the wrong people. Making millions on OF is an extreme exception, but there are plenty of teachers who have left the education field to become a bartender or such, because teaching wasn't paying them enough to afford rent and groceries. Teachers leaving the field are the victims of this, get mad at the system not at the people trying to survive.

No, you don't get it. Every single person needs to grab their bootstraps and pull so hard that everyone is promoted to management! Then we'll all make management salaries. Having no employees left to manage, we'll resort to managing each other.
