| History / education degree. Do not want anything teaching related. I know the life-span of new teachers is about 5 years. So where did you all go after? Tia |

| I taught at an inner city public high school for four years, went to grad school and taught part time at a college for five years, now working for the federal government. In between I was also an office manager at a small non profit. |

Tour guide?
Nanny? Medieval Times? OP if you don't want to further your education in another field there isn't a ton of options for those credentials outside teacher. |

Back to school, because being qualified to be a teacher meant I was pretty much only qualified to be a teacher. Can't say the back to school piece worked out perfectly (law school, don't recommend, though slowly making my way towards things which might not be soul sucking), but it seemed to me options were quite limited. |

I have a friend who works at a charter school in NYC helping prepare seniors for college.
Another friend works at a college working with the POSSE program. Another friend is still a teacher but has an editing business on the side and edits reports for clients |

Have children and say because it's not financially worth it to go back to teaching.
Other options... sell real estate, project manager, training, hr. In the dc area it will be hard without another degree at this point. |
