Many teachers ask, “What else can you do?” Some ex-teachers have shared success stories with Thinking of Leaving Teaching about what they do now. As of March 2023, there are over 125 success stories from ex-teachers who got jobs ranging from Academic Developer to Youth Staff Entertainment.
I have organised the jobs/success stories into three areas:
- Teachers who set up their own businesses
- Jobs related to Schools/FE/Universities/Education
- Jobs outside of Schools/Education.
If you click on the link, it will open their success story in a new window. Some are brief and some are more detailed.
