I have a clear credential in mild/moderate disabilities in Southern California.
The credential lists me as an Education Specialist.

I was an Early Childhood Teacher for 13 years (straight from high school, to university, to teaching, so never knew anything else. Like you, I got to a point where I needed a career change. It took ages, and I applied for so many different types of jobs .... willing to start at the bottom of a new industry to work my way up, but just couldn't get a break. Either people couldn't transfer my skill base away from the teaching, or maybe my resumes and application letters were just lousy! Anyway, after 7 long months I finally found a new job as a recruitment consultant for an education company. It meant I had a base knowledge of the industry, and have developed further administrative skills and sales knowledge whilst working in the job. I must say I really enjoy still being involved in education to an extent, but am quite happy not to be doing face to face teaching with the children at the moment.
Basically what I am saying, is that it is a hard slog trying to change careers, but keep scouring the job ads, and if you can find something education related it may make your transition/success at finding a new job easier. Good Luck!

Gee , that is kind of like a physics major being tired of science work .
And you want suggestions for a Ed Specialist ,
That is Not a schoolteacher .
Maybe go back to school and get another career .
From here it looks like your current training says "teacher" .
Even nanny is a form of teacher .

Try moving to a different state or school district with cheaper cost of living and more behaved kids. Then maybe you wont be stressed out about the kids and lack of pay. Switching careers is a big jump. not to mention a waste of tuition.

Perhaps you could find work helping elderly people who've had strokes. It's almost the same technique, but you'd be working one on one, instead of being surrounded by the sweet little darlings. I used to work at an elementary school and over half the special ed class lived on my road. I was sort of glad none of them could read so they didn't know where I lived. I had to get out of that place, but I was escaping the adults, not the kids.

There are always work at home scenarios where you can own your own business. Teachers are typically good with people...that is a great place to start for your own business. Two I know for sure is Mary Kay (hated that one) and I currently sell Arbonne...great products with REAL results, great company and great people to work with...let me know if you'd like more information!!

If you are good with computers, you might try being a tech trainer for a business or college. Counseling might also be an option.
