I've been teaching for 15 years and can honestly say that I've enjoyed 14 of those years. However I've had enough, I work 12 hours a day trying to keep on top of the paper work and the bureaocracy. I still enjoy being with the children but it is a decreasing percentage of the day. So would like to know if any of you have changed career and what I could change to?

You might want to think about training to be an Educational Pyschologist. You get paid while you train. You need a minimum of two years teaching experience, which you obviously have. Not sure that you actually need any qualifications in Pyschology either. .Check it out

With your vast experience in teaching, it would follow that you may enjoy teaching adult education, or being a self-esteem facilitator in a new age centre or in big business. If the part of the job that you enjoyed the most, was working with children, there are many career's in the child care industry, but I must say that the pay is lower than a teachers. And also, there are people who sometimes treat people in childcare positions as somehow inferior.
What about career counselling? It would mean that you still worked in schools, however, if you chose to work for private or religious schools or perhaps colleges. ?
What about a childhood psychologist?

As a teacher, you should know that 'alternative' is the opposite of what you are doing. Un-teaching children is not fair after all you went through. As for Options, I have known ex-teachers who have done well in the Police. Nursing, with your qualifications, would be another. However, why not just take a career break and see the world........... A nice relaxing holiday in the Caribbean, just roasting in the sun during winter. Come back all refreshed and raring to go............... then give teaching another fresh start for three months or so, and if you then feel the same, go for your options.................... Good luck whatever you decide to do................

Have you tried private tuition, I know when my friend was looking for an extra English tuition she could not find anyone in our local area. You can work from home and a time to suit.
You don't say what else interest's you?

try adult ed - i run an adult ed centre and my staff love it - contact you local councils further education dept and ask to be put on the non-voc teaching list - to teach voc you will need to contact your local colleges. you will still need lesson plans and schemes of work but paperwork is nothing like your used to
