Is this a genuine question?
​
If so - What did you do for work until your current bout of unemployment?

Teaching
If you are considering teaching and it is something accessible to you now I would certainly recommend it for while. As a long term career I am less convinced. For reasons of pay, bureaucracy and the eventual tedium of teaching the same thing over and over I chose not to do it long term. But I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed my stint as a maths/physics high school teacher.

Re: Teaching
3 years + 1 year of Post Graduate Certificate in Education (which was almost entirely school based).
​
So 1 year training. 1 Year in the UK. 1 year in Guyana. Then 1 year back in the UK.
​
Then I ended up working in IT (to this day)
