Any one who was an education major find work in alternate fields? What are you doing instead?

Question

Have you given up teaching? Or have you just decided to do something else because of the lack of job offers? What are you doing for a living?

Answer 1

Teachers can do several things; they can become trainers for companies, write textbooks, or find work in your field of teaching subject (science teachers go into research).

Answer 2

I taught for four years, then wanted a bit of a change. I actually got a job being a Flight Attendant. I got to travel, meet great people and use the second language I was teaching (French). I did that for 2 years and have now gone back to teaching. I will never regret the experience. It was wonderful.

Answer 3

I'd didn't like the traditional classroom anymore so I chose to work in an alternative school. I preferred a smaller class size and a smaller school anyways. It could prove to be a more relaxed setting because there are fewer students, and you can give each student individual time. It's working out okay so far. I like it better than the regular classroom. The staff is good and discipline is enforced to the letter.

Answer 4

Not me, but my sister...she just graduated with a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. She moved to Texas and got a job in a day care center while she applies at nearby school districts.
