right now, sterling (the currency) is worth roughly twice the dollar, however the financial climate is much the same of what you're going through in the states along with the 'credit crunch' etc. You'd have to make sure you're qualified to teach in the UK, if you wanted to teach in a normal school you'd most likely have to do a year course to learn how to teach the english way, and every school (public or private) answers to the government the tests are standardized (ie its the same essay question and the essays are sent off to an independent adjudicator and graded) There may be a way to get around that though but it would definitely be something to look into. There are programs that might bring teachers over to the UK i'd look for something like that.
There are chef jobs everywhere, it depends on where you'd want to live really, and what type of school you want your baby to go to etc.
