I've finally decided that I want to work in the education field. However, I am unsure whether I want to go into teaching and would possibly rather work in education in another way.
I've thought of possible careers involving education:
Also, degree wise - should I do a normal degree in well, anything. Or a straight degree in education?
I've thought of possible careers involving education:
- Still working in schools, ie. mentoring students. - Not so keen on.
- Working for the local authority.
- Working for the government.
- Education Journalism.
- Education text books.
- Exam boards.
Also, degree wise - should I do a normal degree in well, anything. Or a straight degree in education?

I want to work in education in some way as well. I would recommend a joint degree, so combine your favourite AL subject with education e.g. i could do 'geography with education' perhaps. A straight education degree could actually close more doors than it opens if you are not 100% sure because you will have no specialist knowledge or skills in another area. Oh yeah and if you want to be a teacher you need about 50% of the content of your degree to be related to the subject you wish to teach.

Isn't it better to get a degree in the subject you want to teach, then get a PGCE? Hmm...that's only my opinion.
If you haven't see it, the goverment's website on it has lots of info Can Teach

Well, the way im becoming a teacher is to first get and english degree and then after 3yrs of doin that im going to do a one year PGCE in which they not only give you £6000 as a bursary, they also give you a Golden Hello of £4000 if you become a secondary school teacher, or pay off some of your student debt if primary, my selected route....hope this has helped....

im going to do a Degree.. prob geography (nat curriculum subject).. then take a year out then a PGCE (primary)
.. the way i see it is, if i then decide that i dont want to go into teaching i have still got my original degree to fall back on, not just an "education" one, which could leave me in a dead end if i change my mind..
