One teacher in New York traded in lesson plans for Hooters menus. She's gone from a low-paying, high-stressed career to one that, thanks to generous tips from customers, is more worth her time and energy.

Allinson Chavez, a 32-year-old single mother of one, told the NY Post that she can now take home in two days as a Hooters Girl what she was taking home in two weeks as a teacher.

"I was making $1,000 twice a month as an educator," she said. "Now, I can make $1,000 in two days."
