munhasen5 asked:


My brother wants to switch jobs after more than 10 years as an elementary teacher. He really doesn’t have any other skills besides teaching, which makes finding a non-teaching job rather difficult.

Can anyone suggest some non-teaching jobs that a former teacher would find it easier to get than others?

Thanks!

Try college teaching, it’s fun.

if he wants a change a job in paediatrics wouldn’t be too much of a stretch. as a teacher he clearly has the intelligence, and the combination of a normal nursing course with all his experience with children would make him stand out to any paediatrics doctors needing nurses.

he could also try to look for work as a lecturer in a teacher training course….he may want a change because he is tired of teaching young children….h could lecture new young teachers using all his experience…
