• There is work for teachers outside of the classroom.today image by alwayspp from Fotolia.com
  
  Although teaching is a rewarding profession, the difficulties of dealing with angry parents, child behavioral issues and aloof administration can lead to burnout. Even teachers who are still relatively happy in their work might want a change after years of standing in front of a classroom. Luckily, teaching degrees open up other opportunities that require skills similar to those needed for in-class positions.
  
  

Education Administrator

• If you need to get out of the classroom but you don't want to leave the field of education entirely, consider a career as an education administrator. Working for a school district, you'll direct and make decisions about how teachers instruct your subject area in schools. You'll work with and supervise curriculum development experts to try to improve content and teaching methods. If you're interested in becoming a principal, you'll be responsible for the school budget, and you'll have to hire and manage the teachers who work at your school. Keep in mind that both of these positions require a few years of teaching experience, and most educators who snag these titles hold a master's degree in education or higher.
  
  

Curriculum Specialist

• Curriculum specialists evaluate current teaching plans in place at a district's schools and make suggestions to try to improve them. This career is another option for teachers who don't want to leave the educational system entirely but who need a break from the classroom. Besides developing curricula, many specialists hold teacher-training seminars and think of creative ways to introduce technology to the classroom. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, curriculum specialists hold graduate degrees in most states, so you may need to earn your master of education degree before heading down this career path.
  
  

Librarian

• If you enjoy helping people, but you're looking for a quieter scene than the classroom, you might enjoy work as a librarian. Librarians catalog and organize resources, keep tabs on the types of research resources available, develop and organize educational programming and help patrons with research. If you want to move outside of the school system, you need a master of library science degree. In some states, you can become a school librarian with a bachelor of education degree, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Decide where you want to work and find out what the requirements are before pursuing higher education.
  
  

Technical Writer

• Technical writers develop materials that help users understand software and computer systems. A teacher's education emphasizes understanding what people need to process information and learn new things. Teachers recognize the importance of knowing their audience and planning instructional documents carefully, making them successful technical writers. If you're a computer geek at heart, this career might be the one for you.
  
  

Corporate Trainer

• Corporations employ people to run seminars on company policies and procedures, software tools in use at the organization and even the company's own products and services. As a trainer, you need to prepare and update lesson materials and instruct groups of professionals. This career works well for teachers who still want to teach, but need a change of scene and audience.
  
  

Admissions Recruiter

• Admissions recruiters work at universities and colleges, calling prospective students to explain school offerings and helping them to select a program that meets their needs. If the school doesn't offer what the student wants, admission recruiters offer guidance and some career counseling. If you still want to help students find their way without teaching them directly, consider this career. In most cases, a bachelor's degree is all you need to get started.
