Answer 2

I taught Business and Information Technology for a few years as a second career.

Prior to teaching, I worked for a company with a reputation of being very back-stabbing, cut-throat political.  It was nothing compared to working in the school system.

At least in the corporate world I could understand why many were so "competitive" - raises, bonuses, promotions.  In the school system it was just pure juvenile pettiness.

A teacher in the same department absolutely hated me and expended a bunch of effort to undermine anything I did. Why? Because I had a slightly larger classroom.  Weird!

OK - to your question.

You have a lot of options!

If you actually enjoyed the teaching part of the job:

- Tutoring companies (Kumon, Sylvan, etc.)

- Corporate training departments

- Teaching (or tech support) with an online school

- Community college (may need some addt'l education)

Otherwise:

- Curriculum development companies

- Educational software development companies

- Technical support

Your best bet may be to shop around the "employment" links on online school sites.  I think this is a big growth area - especially with rising fuel costs.  Don't limit just to secondary - look at post secondary schools as well.

You do not have to settle for "stacking shelves."
