If you are passionate about education and you’d like to pursue a career around it there are a few different paths that you could look into as possible career options.

The first and arguable most obvious choice would be to become a teacher, either at primary school level or in higher education. You could take up more of a support function such as a TA (teaching assistant) as this requires less qualifications but that is reflected in the pay scale that you would get.

If you are keen on one particular subject then you could become a college lecturer, in this role real world experience of the subject that you are teaching will help you no end as you can explain to your students how the things that you are teaching them will translate in the working world.

If you are looking for a higher paid role that is more involved with overseeing of education establishment and systems then you may be better suited as a school inspector, however most of these roles will require you to have had some teaching experience.
