I have searched and could not find an answer to this question... if I have a karta pobytu, can I work in other countries in the EU?

No you cannot. A Karta Pobytu is a Polish residence card which gives you right to live here for the period specified.

So being married to a Pole would also not guarantee me the right to work outside of Poland, correct?

Family members have the right to live and work anywhere in the EU if they're married to an EU citizen. Most EU citizens make it pretty painless to do so, although the UK is infamously strict in this respect.

Generally speaking, being married to a Pole will allow you to work quite freely (with the appropriate national residence card) in all EU states, plus the EEA and CH.

Thanks!

Are you familiar with what I need to work in the UK? I want to work at a summer school there this year and not sure from the official websites if this is possible.

It's only possible if your wife is resident in the UK at the same time, and you'll also need to apply for the EEA Family Permit in order to obtain your treaty rights. Entering on a tourist stamp will prohibit you from working, and your wife will need to be in the UK with you during your employment there. I can tell you that if you arrive at the border with the EEA Family Permit and your wife isn't with you - you'll be denied entry, or admitted on the basis of the tourist waiver, not the family permit.

In short : a minefield, and not really worth it for summer camp wages.
