Anybody know of jobs that recruit teachers looking to get out of teaching?
If you like math and computers, a data science master might be good for you.90s kid said:
Maybe I should change the question to ask of master's programs that would be a good fit for teachers trying to get out to another field? Grad programs that just require a degree in anything and some job experience rather than requiring specific undergrad requirements?
I did the same thing. Went back to A&M and got a second undergraduate degree (computer science), which only took ~2 years because all I had to do was major coursework. Because of prerequisites, I was limited to taking only a few classes at a time for the first couple of semesters. That enabled me to work nearly full time at a school in town to help pay for my education.PneumAg said:
The only other person I know of who did it was a girl i dated for a while at A&M. She graduated with an education degree, taught in Fort Worth for one year, and said eff this. She re-enrolled at A&M, got a geology degree, and basically just hit the reset button on her career.

My wife just left teaching 8th grade math in CS and will be an advisor for the Dept of Mechanical Engineering at A&M.
This is the hardest part, and you wouldn't believe how many people out there including myself can't answer this question. Sometimes, what you want to do won't pay the bills...Quote:
What do you want to do?
Consider starting a lawn business on the side and see if you can grow enough to pay the bills. I know a few guys that have left other careers and now run several crews that do pool/lawn/sprinkler systems/Christmas lights and seem to make good money.90s kid said:
Something outside. I have looked into environmental jobs, but they want engineers... Considered outdoor ed, but those jobs are far and few in between and don't pay the bills.
