Not wanting to teach after achieving QTS
I'm nearing the end of my BA primary teaching course, but after all the experience and placements, I just don't think I want to go into full-time classroom teaching. Unfortunately it's not what I was hoping it would be, and I found my placements (whilst successful) to be very stressful and all-consuming. The thought of going into full-time teaching doesn't really fill me with much joy or confidence.
I'm basically looking for some advice from people who have been in my situation on what to do going foward. What kind of career could I transition into using the degree?
