[quote=Anonymous]You can see about getting certified in something like ESOL. Wouldn't take too much time and while it is still school based you don't have the same exact pressures of a classroom. You could see if there are any curriculum writing jobs for online companies like K12. There are some online companies that hire teachers for students taking the non traditional online route. Or there are educational non profits that are looking for teachers especially in the DC area - you will definitely make less.

I'm a speech therapist and was also getting burnt out in the school environment since my caseload was getting huge, paperwork was increasing and also had some litigious parents. I've switched grade levels/schools (a few times) and now work with preschool level kids. I have finally found my forever job.

I feel lucky that my Mom persuaded me not to teach as she was a teacher herself and saw the writing on the wall. My teacher friends love the kids but with all the new testing requirements and data collection are really starting to be unhappy with their jobs. And that is so unfortunate. [/quote]
