Psychology degree and Teaching

You could teach in a 6th form college or lecture at uni.

If I only qualified to work in FE, then I couldn't work in schools, where as if I qualified to work in schools, I could work in both. I want the flexibility of being able to apply for jobs in both.

Lecturing in uni needs a masters/Phd, which
a. I don't know if I'm good enough for
b. I probably can't afford
c. Seems a hell of a lot of work (and money!) for what I'd get out of it.

I'm going to email my old politics teacher and see what he says

Well, if you'd be happy teaching subjects like PSHE, citizenship and RS, you could do an 11-18 social sciences PGCE and apply to schools that offer A-level politics, although it is quite rare in schools. I think you're more likely to find grammar schools that do it.

Yep, that's what I was planning to do

I don't think you'll struggle to find places which offer some branch of politics/government; most sixth-forms/schools with sixth-forms will have it as an option.

Really? Where I live, I think a couple of grammar schools and a 6th form college have it, but that's about it. Might be different in the rest of the country though.
