What other jobs can qualified teachers do?

Answer 1

Interesting question!

A qualified teacher, after a few years of experience, could explore college-level teaching. (Teach the teacher, so to speak.)

There's a lot of industry training out there - where you would work with groups of professionals. This could be motivational, organization, LEAN manufacturing, etc.

You might even be able to find some work with research, I'm certain that Universities and Colleges do various forms of learning and development studies which could make use of talented teachers.

Teaching is also a step into school administration.

Teaching would be a good step into guidance counseling and career counseling. Universities have student advisors that help choose courses and degree paths.

Though I'm admittedly not certain of what's out there, there's been more focus in the medical industry in patient education. A lot of that is done by nurses and other medically trained personnel, but I would believe that a teacher would have available options as well. (Might just take some coursework.)

Good luck!

Answer 2

If you feel that you want to stay in education you may find an interest in working with students with learning difficulties and although further training may be needed the working environment will differ greatly from the classroom environment and it will be incredibly rewarding. You may want to go into adult education and teach night classes or additional training. TEFL is an option. It is a great way to travel as you can use your teaching skills to teach English abroad. You may also find an interest in teaching at colleges where only A levels and equivalents are taught. This is another environment that is different and you find the classrooms are much more relaxed due to the learners being more mature than their main school counterparts. You could try and get a job at the department of education or an exam board as you have an understanding in the education system and the curriculum. Teacher training provides you with skills that are transferable are regarded highly in the workplace, especially in managerial roles. The possibilities are endless! In the source boxes I have added a few links which I hope you find useful.

Answer 5

I am trying to figure that one out myself. I've applied for several jobs - one was proofreading and editing English textbooks and style guides - that seem to require the skill set I possess - actually, I can't imagine who else besides an English teacher would be able to do that one - and I don't seem to be what they want. The attitude appears to be - you've never had a REAL job, this is the real world. My resume doesn't impress them. I don't know - Good luck to you!
