 Are there options for would-be teachers who don't want to work for the government? 
 Private schools
Independent tutor
Teach for an after school program and/or camp
Become a dad and participate in your local homeschool co-op 
 FYI one does not have to be a parent to teach homeschoolers. My Spanish tutor was employed by our co-op and had no kids. 
Also FYI I’ve done most of these things, at home and abroad. Working for an after school tutoring program was what I did in China. 
 I did that some in China too.  
 A co op sounds like a good idea 
 Yeah they are a great thing!  Be sure to look for them in your area. And if one doesn’t already exist, you can start one with other homeschoolers and advertise in parenting magazines, local message boards, etc.
