What other careers can you get into with an education degree?
Asked by mikeroch5
My wife has a master's degree in Elementary Education and she is unsure if she still wants to teach. After being laid off from her school, she got a new job in the education field but outside of the classroom. What are some other career options using her degree that will not require going back to school? Has anyone else been in this situation?

Best Answer:
Daycare, Tutoring, even writing books or educational materials for schools. Principle, dean, or other administrative duties relating to education. School counselors typically seem to love their jobs, think about that one. It does Not require a psychology degree, just a natural way with children and adolescents. My mother has been a teacher for 30 years and these are a few examples she's given me.

She could likely work for an education related non-profit, a university administrator for an Educ dept, a trainer for a private firm, an administrator for Sylvan Learning Ctr or Kaplan. There must be many options. Also, teachers are very sought after overseas! If you've ever wanted to live in Australia, UK, I don't think she'd have any trouble finding work there.
