What jobs can I train/retrain in? Inspire me!

I have an education degree, and decent A-levels. I graduated and worked in retail, then medical admin but didn't feel satisfied, so finally figured I'd try out teaching, so I did a PGCE and I'm currently working as a primary teacher.
But I feel like I've still not found my interest, I'm enjoying teaching, but I feel like it's not my forever career.
I'm still in my 20's, so not sure if I've just got cold feet regarding settling down into a career path, but I feel like I need a big change.

Im not very good at maths, and already have an undergrad degree. I'm looking for something well paid (matches teaching or better, so around 40k+ in next 10 years) that I could climb high in if it interests me.
I've considered doing maybe something housing related, like mortgage advisor as I'm interested in that, but I know nothing about it, how to get into it and what the salary/prospects are like.

What do you all do? How did you get into it? Is it worth it financially/spiritually?

If you want to work in a financial advisory role then a reasonable level of maths would help.
Why are you interested in that area?

Can't say why really, it's just an interest I've always had. I have a B in maths GCSE, so would say a reasonable level, I just don't enjoy maths so want to avoid the suggestions of retraining as an accountant or the likes.

I've always been interested in working in property, considered even a quantity surveyor degree before uni, to get into it from the construction side, but equally didn't fancy being a young woman working with a bunch of 50 year old builders and contractors...

Mortgage advisory will have a maths element because you will be looking at affordability, interest rates etc.
It sounds like you are more interested in property development than buying and selling.
