I would be happy working in retail, basically anything, but I can't afford to leave :( Good Luck in whatever you decide!

As much as I love teaching sometimes I think its not something I could do for the next 30 years. Sometimes I think about working for text book publishers....still some what in education...but not in the classroom. Or on a completely different note... I always wanted to be a real estate agent.

I know a few teachers who have left and became librarians.

Trust me I have thought about it with all the crap that I have endured looking for a freakin job...especially since I had another career before this in PR

Yes - I went back to school for a second bachelors degree and started a new career. I had worked as a teacher/counselor and just got tired of a lot of the bureaucracy and doing work at home.

I am seriously thinking of leaving...I think I would like to work for a children's book publisher like scholastic....I have been teetering for the last 3 years and I think I have finally made a decision.
