Re: Has anyone left teaching and go into another field? If so what are you doing now?
I was a HS social studies teacher for 6 years and I recently went into counseling (drug and violence...not academic)...and am working on my MLIS for school media

I taught elementary school for awhile. Now I am in property management. Don't know why-I just fell into it!!! I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up but would love to return to teaching one day.

I have taught middle school and high school for the last 9 years. It is the only career I have had. I am only 30 and am beginning to burn out. I love the kids I work with but am tired and beginning to not like my job. I was thinking of going into Real estate.

I was close to going into real estate and the guy told me the biggest field that people leave to go into RE is teaching...he told me the reason - but I can't remember right now...

Yes, I had a psychology degree and was a third grade for a few years right out of school.
I wanted to try something new and ended up in the world of Training and Development. I am a training and development specialist. I do instructional design (write and design training curriculum). I am currenlty building a brand new curriculum for a new company we acquired. I do everything from determine needs, create the curriculum and training, to the followup evaluation.
