I am a certified teacher looking to find a career change. What am I qualified for?

College/University Admissions

Being a college admissions counselor can be great no matter what your background: travel opportunities, working in a higher education environment, tuition remission for the school’s graduate and undergraduate classes, lots of friendly contact with excited young people and their parents, and opportunities to scope out other careers in higher education while you work. Admissions counselors do a lot of reading and talking in order to educate themselves about all aspects of their school’s curriculum, in interviews with prospective students and in presentations. There is an active professional association which has annual conferences where networking and professional development take place, and the fall recruitment season usually finds counselors on the road with their counterparts traveling to high schools to hold information sessions and talk to guidance counselors, as well as represent their school at college fairs.

Development

Being a development officer—a fundraiser for an institution who courts individual donors—is said by many who do it to be unexpectedly fun and rewarding. For people who think well on their feet and enjoy engaging with others, this can be highly stimulating career, and a lucrative one as well. Universities, museums, hospitals, foundations and all kinds of institutions have development departments. This work often involves travel, phone work, research, and a thorough knowledge of the institution. Association of Fundraising Professionals

Editor

Editors review, rewrite, and edit the work of writers. They may also do original writing. An editor's responsibilities vary depending on the employer and type and level of editorial position held. In the publishing industry, an editor's primary duties are to plan the contents of books, technical journals, trade magazines, and other general interest publications. Editors decide what material will appeal to readers, review and edit drafts of books and articles, offer comments to improve the work, and suggest possible titles. Additionally, they oversee the production of the publications. Think of the possibilities!

Speech writing/Public Relations

Don DeLillo got his start as a speech writer. If you understand rhetoric and read enough to stay informed on the institution or office you represent as well as the topics you present, this can be a very stimulating career for someone who can turn out copy quickly and work collaboratively

This is obviously pasted from a website I found. The link is down below. They have more choices and can give you some sort of idea of what's out there.

Jill Said:

Any advice for a career change for a burned-out teacher?

We Answered:

Wow, that's gutsy. My dad always said, if you don't like what you're doing, quit. But before you quit, have another job already. Seems as though your patience didn't hold out.....

If you do decide to start your own business, be aware that your time will also be gone - but the chances of making more money are certainly better. First tip: open up a day-care center for moms, or how about a pet hotel (when owners are on vacation).

Find out what you like to do best, and try to find a job that best suites you. There are tons of interesting jobs out there - best of luck!

Mario Said:

Being looked down on by career investigation teacher?

We Answered:

Say maybe you'll go into teaching instead, because that will be 'Really'-(with emphasis) easy.

Audrey Said:

Any ideas for a substitute teacher considering a career change (don't say tutor)?

We Answered:

Are you asking this because you don't want to teach at all or because you no longer wish to sub? If you no longer want to sub, but still want to use your education degree, becoming a full time teacher is an obvious choice. But if you're asking for career possibilities outside of teaching, I wish I knew this answer because I'm stuck trying to find a teaching job, wondering if I want to go through all this again until I finally receive "tenure" (my county calls it something else), and wondering if maybe I should change careers and if so, what else can I do that would enable me to still "teach."
