Looking for Advice and Suggestions

I am currently job hunting having quit my job last November. It was retail and I just couldn’t handle another holiday there. I’ve been feeling very lost lately in what kind of job to look for. I have a bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts, and the only real career job I have under my belt is Assistant Language Teacher in Japan for two years. My education and plan since High School was to live and thrive in Japan for my whole life, but after having lived there a few years, I realized it wasn’t where I wanted to settle down. Since having come back from Japan, I feel very much back to square one and am not sure which direction to go. People have suggested teaching, but I don’t have a strong enough passion to become one, especially for the school system I am in. It’s terrible and I’m trying to avoid it. Staffing agencies have also been recommended, which I do not mind trying, but they ask what am I looking for which I don’t really have an answer to. In all honesty, I am not looking for a big career. My main goal is to marry my boyfriend and start a family with him. Stay at home mom the first few years when a kid comes around. I just need something that can pay some bills and have some savings. Of course I would love to find something I can be passionate about (wouldn’t we all, I envy those of you who have that, ha ha) I am working on becoming a Japanese language tutor as a side thing. I enjoy that very much. Anyway, any advice or suggestions from you lovely ladies would be much appreciated! Thank you so much for your time reading this.

What about trying to tutor kids or teach from home using the website VIPKID?
