For someone with a Master's Degree in Mathematics Education, what jobs are out there besides teaching??
Asked by Jinx
I would appreciate ideas that need "no further education" than a Master's Degree in Mathematics Education.
With 8 years of Math teaching experience, what else is out there for work?
No teaching or finance/accounting jobs... PLEASE. No jobs that require bringing work home either!
Thanks for the input.
Teaching Math to Middle & High School Kids has not been a good fit for me.
The stress-level has become sky-high. The majority of the stress comes from the preparation and paperwork that comes with the job.
I have no life. I work at school during the day and do paperwork and preparation during the night and weekends!
It has come to the point where the stress level may be affecting my health and my life in general.
Money is not as important as ME... but I'm hoping to aim for a job that pays roughly $60,000 a year!

Market Research. It pays quite well too.
A:
Applied math is important in many fields. Try looking into statistics as they are used by almost all corporations for many purposes.

I'm sorry to say this, but in this economy, education is the only "for sure" answer.
With no other information about your skills and no intention of getting further education, your options are limited.

If it was me, I'd start a service called "Mathemagicians" where I'd rent myself out to parties and corporate events, performing math-based magic. And possibly juggling.

No this no that...
Sound's like work is the last thing you want to do.
Unfortunately, the times we live in, street cleaners have degrees.
You may not even get offered any jobs without experience.
It is a complete nightmare out there.
Sales / Tele-marketing / Realestate / etc may be worth considering.
You can use your qualifications and get a training contract with a legal firm maybe.
You could also, travel, write travel books, forget about real work.
Good luck with your chosen career path.

Guess what? Your in the driver's seat for employment desirability. Any Research and Development Government or Industry laboratory will welcome you. However, they will want you to use computers also. Mathematics is the underpinning of all engineering, so wherever engineers work, you can work too. But they will ask about your computer skills!

You might try visiting the local Community College to speak with a career councelor. They are usually happy to help anybody from their community even if you do not attend the college.
Your requirements seem a bit restrictive. The world of academia is very different from the real world. You will probably have to be more flexable than you are used to being as far as job requirements. Business and industry doesn't take kindly to their employees dictating what they will and won't do. There are alot of people who would jump at the chance to get a good position no matter what they have to take home to work on.
UPDATE:
You think you have stress now? Wait until you get a job where there is no such thing as "tenure" and you constantly have to worry about layoffs and mergers and relocations.
