Potential Career Shift to Teaching
Hello DataDoxy (and anyone else who wants to chme in),
I am considering a change in career path from finance to teaching. I am 25 with an Economics degree from U of C, and have spent the last 5 years in an investment advising firm, which I don't find to my liking. I have always been interested in teaching and have spent 6 years as a bantam hockey coach, which has given me a bit of a bug for educating.
My plan is to take TESL and go teach english abroad for a year starting in 2016 and then hopefully look into getting abck to school for Fall 2017 or Winter 2018. What would be recommendations for schools? What's the competitiveness to get into certain programs? I see a lot of talk of boutique schools, which I am interested in. Would I need something special to be considered for those types of positions? Any help would be great. Thanks!
