Alternative Careers
in Education
By Meaghan Goebel
A Bachelor of Education is one of those
degrees that will get you places, and not just
inside a school. There are entire books written on the
subject of alternative careers in education (many of which
are available at the CaPS Resource Centre) because the
skills you gain are so transferrable. Time-management,
strong communication and organizational skills, and
leadership training are all part and parcel of your
education degree which can be used inside,
but equally outside of the classroom.
Education graduates have gone on to a myriad of other
professions: police officer, probation officer, human resource
manager, educational program advisor, outreach
coordinator, park naturalist, and even adventure travel
specialist. The list goes on but what these jobs all
share is an emphasis on people skills, communication
abilities, and organizational strengths which, as
education graduates, you all share!
If you are looking for a bit of an adventure before
starting a full time position, an out-of-country
experience can be financially supplemented by
teaching English as a foreign language. This can
give a candidate practical, hands on knowledge of an
exotic and exciting teaching field, with the added bonus
of life-lessons that can only be learned away from home.
(A good place to start is: http://www.goabroad.com).
Don’t let classroom walls limit your thinking when there are so many great
options available. Come to the CaPS Resource Centre and check out these valuable
resources: 101 Career Alternatives for Teachers, Career Opportunities in Education, and, What
Can You Do With a Major in Education?
