Any career suggestions?
| Sun, 10-24-2004 - 2:30am |
As some of you know, I'm an English teacher. After a couple of years with health ups and downs and a really unsupportive school, I'm feeling at a loss as to what to do to change things for myself. I'm thinking that teaching in a high school just ain't a good long term propect for my health...problem is, I just don't know what else I could do.
I have a 1st Class Honours degree and a Masters in English. Over 9 years teaching experience under my belt now.
Anyone have any ideas what kind of employer might want someone like me?


I know you could probably get some good editing jobs or writing jobs with newspapers, Magazines, or Television.
I know the editors at the papers I have written for get a lot of work. We write the articals, and the editors make them and us look good.
Also I am sure you could get a good job as a proof reader for many things like I mentioned above.
Businesses also need writers and proof readers for the reports etc, and they always want someone with a degree in english.
I think there would be plenty of avenues open to you.
Good Luck, I hope you can move on to something more pleasant for you.
Hugs,
Laurie

Sorry it's taken me a bit to post back here, ladies. I hope you don't think me ungrateful - far from it. I really appreciate your suggestions. I had considered the proofreading option - and am, in fact, about half way through writing a teenage fiction novel. But I need to get my ass in gear and get it finished...hard when you have to work so many hours just to keep on top of the teaching though.
Anyway, I am definitely going to look into some of your suggestions - I hadn't thought about the technical writing or the grant writing options - sounds like
Keep us posted on this issue Loubie.
