 Re: Retirement age for a teacher.
Of the people I've known who have got out of teaching completely, the most popular second career has definitely been publicshing - usually ELT publishing. The second most usual has been personnel work - often with responsibility for organising training or, in one case, dealing with the personnel who the company sends abroad - arranging their housing, kids schools, language and cross-cultural training etc. Another went to work as a PA to a faculty Head in an important multicultural university.
So there are jobs which are completely out of teaching as such, but still allow you to use the knowledge and skills which you gained while you were in it. |
