What else can an elementary school teacher (17 years) do besides teaching?
Asked by Melon
Training is in education. I have a BS in Elementary Education (1-6) and a masters in reading. What else I can do other than teaching? I cannot afford to get less pay than what I am getting now. Thanks for the help.

Best Answer:
Private Tutor, Nanny, and School Administration are all that spring to mind.
Good luck.

What about consulting? Check state and local government jobs. If you want to go in a totally different direction, think about taking some courses to earn certification in something. Daycare is a great business if you're not completely tired of working with kids.

Seriously I'd go to a career guidance counsellor and find out on a more certain level.
You probably have skills that you are taking for granted. I know from experience that leaving a long term job is really difficult. It brings up the whole security issue. You feel safe where you are but in reality you want a change for whatever reason.
I have seen many people trapped in this rut because they don't think they can do anything else, or they don't have the skills.
Get professional advice as I get the impression that you seriously want to change. Maybe go to a job seeking agency and just test the waters too.

How about a nice factory job? I have a family member that worked in a vehicle assembly plant ( I don't want to say which one, but it rhymes with 'cord'). He worked with a guy that was a doctor. I don't mean someone with just a doctorate degree, I mean a MEDICAL DOCTOR. A physician. A sawbones. A healer. An M.D.. The doctor said that, after paying malpractice insurance, and every other insurance he had to have, he had a larger take home check from a factory making quality American automobiles than he had from saving lives. Anything wrong with that?
You could become a Police Officer. Your education and experience will help you with dealing with people under stress, in intense situations, and in otherwise unreasonable conditions. You may be uniquely qualified in some areas of police work due to your education and experience.
You do not have to remain in the field of education. If it is just something you love to do, then by all means keep teaching.
If you are looking for a bigger paycheck, changing fields is not a bad option.

You might try sales. There are many areas you could look into including selling educational materials. There is also the online route but you will have to work at it to get it started. Maybe medical billing. Just a few ideas. Here are a couple of sites you may want to investigate.

get second jobs to reduce your bills so you can save for your next career/schooling.
assess your opinions assumptions fears and prejudices asks yourself which ones help you increase your value to the marketplace and which ones reduce your value. decide which ones to keep.
most people who start with us have junk in the mind that keeps/enslaves them as the world changes. do u.
