Early childhood education degree...Job Options?

Question

Sooo..I'm working on an early childhood education degree, and am currently working @ a preschool, w/ 2-3 yr olds. I really don't think i want to do this for the rest of my life...What other job options do i have with an early childhood education degree?

Answer 1

It might get you into 2nd or 3rd year university. Check into some university courses that would credit your ece courses you are taking. You might be able to teach in an elementary school or become a program advisor in the government. The options are many.

Answer 2

You can basically only teach pre-school or elementary with that degree unless you go for another degree down the road.  Depending on where you teach, the grades you can teach vary.

Answer 3

You can also be a child advocate.  The town where I work has an early childhood specialist.

Answer 4

you can also try to work with kids that have developmental disabilities (autism, etc..). Working with them is very rewarding, and fulfilling. You can use your skills and learn some new ones in the process. Its still teaching, but there is so much added on  (daily living skills, socialization, etc). I worked with this population for a while and found myself wondering how I could ever leave them. The only reason I did was to further my education and attend graduate school full-time... look into it... it could be just what you are looking for...

Answer 5

you have alot of options. you can get your director credential which is a five week cores  on line and you can be a preschool director and you can make 32,000 a year which is not bad. or you can start your own preschool which can make you ton of money.
