what do teachers move onto when they leave?

Retirement, tutoring, government, examination authority, textbook writer, travel through time and space, etc.

lol

Clara does that with The Doctor.

With the First Doctor, two out of three of his companions were teachers at the same school at which Clara is seen teaching in the most recent series. There's something about East London comprehensives that makes you want to run as far as Gallifrey.

This is a funny thread to see after a conversation with my landlord today. I'm starting my PGCE in September, and he was telling me he's a school governor as well as being involved in the committee of the British Hang/Paragliding Association - apparently they try to recruit people with QTS and teaching experience as their instructors, at around the salary of a Head of Department!

Now I'm not saying you're an expert hang glider (though I may be wrong! ) but he was pointing out to me that a teaching qualification can lead to quite unexpected career options in the future

I am really excited about my future but I am having some panic about what I am giving up, my income, my business and being there for my children. what if I don't get a job as a teacher, what if I can't earn money for my children, etc etc?

I guess my doubts are I know I want to move away from what I am doing now but wonder if I have made the right choice to be in poverty for a year and ultimately not have made the right choice?

I do not want to stay doing what I am doing so I know I need to move forward but it is such a scary prospect at the same time. I want to tell myself that even if I don't make it as a teacher a PGCE and QTS could lead me on to a career in.....

I am thinking I could go on and do MA (but what then?) or even lecturing.
What about private tutoring? are there are any obvious career choices for secondary teachers - or RE teachers?
