What Can I Do with an Education Degree?

If you've earned an Education degree, you may have planned to teach -- but this may not happen for many reasons.

You might find that teaching isn't for you, or you may have to explore other career options while looking for a teaching job.

You might also decide that you'd like a change, or you need to make a change for personal reasons.

Whatever the circumstance, an Education degree opens up many other career options - some just involve a little creative thinking!
