What are other jobs that I can do with a teaching degree?

I have been a permanent sub for two years now... it does not pay well AT ALL... but there are no jobs around here. I am willing to travel 50 miles and there is nothing!! I wish people would have let me know that there are a lot of certified people and no jobs!!! I have friends who I would not want to teach my children and they got jobs right away. Of course, there are not any "nice" stories about how they got their jobs but at least they got jobs. Anyway, what else can I do?

What are other jobs that I can do with a teaching degree?
Come to VA and DC; jobs are here.

Reply:If you have been a pemanent sub for the past two years now,, that is a considerable amount of teaching experience. But if you dont want to teach, you should look into other avenues more marketable. For example, if you want to go into the banking industry, try taking a job as a teller to gain the experience. I don't which state you live in, but check around there is a serious shortage of teachers (if you want to continue teaching).
Reply:If you're looking for a permanent teaching job check the website for the board of education of the state you're working in. IT really depends on what kind of degree you hold as to what other kind ofjob you can get. If you have a degree in Mathematics for example, you have world of opportunity open to you. A degree in English Ed. could land you jobs in various fields such as journalism, law, media, or other related fields. You haven't really given ME enough info to answer your question. But I wish you luck though!!
Reply:Do you have a Degree and what is it in? If you have a Degree then look at what it is in and then go into the field it is in. Like I have 1 Degree in Social and Behavorial Science and it is in 4 areas and I can go in Marriage and Family


Counseling(school), Social Worker aid,Teacher. I could go into any of these for a good paying job.
Reply:Before you give up on teaching, make a list of local school districts (use the web to help). Inform yourself about each one and apply directly online. Find out who the interviewer would be in each case (try the dept. chair, school principal, district human resources person) and call him/her to request an interview. State professional organizations can be good sources of jobs postings and if you join one, you can find people to job network with (look online for an appropriate one or contact your college education dept. for some names). Your sub experience IS educational experience, and your potential value to a school will increase if you can coach or are willing to sponsor a club or other organization.





If you exhaust all avenues, including trying another state, you might consider jobs in human resources, employee training/development, banking, or educational textbook rep., just to name a few. Many companies value and hire those who have had teacher training. Good luck!
