    Finding the right career from my teaching degree
    Hello I am new to this and really need some advice and information. I graduated from a four year honours degree in Social Development Studies (courses, psych,soc, and social studies) and am currently attending teachers college (primary/junior).However, I have come to realize that being a full-time teacher will not fulfill me in life. However, I do still enjoy learning about education and do not want to waste my teaching degree. Therefore, can people please tell me what else I can use my degree. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you kindly.

    Sincerely,

    What about teaching a few night classes a week, or teaching part time doing adult basic education or GED classes. HTH

    How about steering yourself in the direction of being a counselor and/or therapist of some kind?

    Just a thought.

    I have a degree in teaching and became a librarian and also a counselor. It all fits together very nicely.

    Why? What happened, other than it's a really old thread?
