Looking for a way out of teaching...

[chequeplease]

My husband has decided to end his career as a KS2 primary teacher. He has only been teaching for 4 years but is so miserable in the job. He loves working with the children but the pressure and standards are too high making the job intolerable (same old story...)

Does anyone have any ideas for a new career path? He would need to work full time & earn at least 27K per annum.

Does he want to work with children or not? If so, has he thought about moving sideways into eg. SEN work?
Does he have a straight degree in something other than education e.g.. a maths, science degree? - if so, there's a lot of options (data analyst, statistician, scientist, marketing/sales for pharmaceuticals etc.)

If not, then:
If not, then HGV driver, train driver etc tend to be better paid than you would think.
Transport planner? (do a search on Indeed)
Although, almost all degree level jobs, even ones that don't require specific training, and just train on the job (like transport planner), would start at around 20-24000 - he's going to have to take the hit on that really, and possibly paying to retrain as well. It's not easy to change career - and this is not just from teaching, it's from any fairly specialised professional job.

Thank you that's helpful.

Local Government roles in school support? Ds earns £38k plus pa his department handle payroll, dbs, recruitment etc for school staff. Dd earns £28k in the pensions department. They also funded ds's degree and Masters and are funding dd's as well. Not terribly stressful, secure employment and good progression paths. Ds has been there since A levels so almost ten years, dd has been there a couple of years after working in a high street bank (she hated it)
