Many career changers gravitating toward teaching are now able to access helpful educational resources at CareerSchoolDirectory.com, a school directory dedicated to career education and providing information about online degrees. Strong job prospects and stability in education predicted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics have made teaching appealing to many people, including doctoral degree-holders seeking a career change.
(PRWEB) November 14, 2006 -- Online educational resources now available at CareerSchoolDirectory.com help career-changers and other people interested in teaching take advantage of favorable job conditions (http://www.careerschooldirectory.com/). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job stability for teachers will vary from good to excellent over the next ten-year period. Ph.D. and career changer, Lynn Horton, has found satisfaction in teaching, and with increased job openings to replace retiring teachers, many other people may want to take the opportunity to draw on their education, whether doctorate or distance learning degree, to launch a teaching career.
As reported by ScienceMag.org, Horton made a decision to become a teacher based on the geographical limitations of her husband's work. Horton said, "Teaching isn't about the money. You go into it knowing that you're going to be happy doing your job."
Teaching offers stability along with other benefits:
| | - Geographic flexibility
- Health benefits
- Manageable work hours
- Extra income for coaching or running extracurricular activities
- Three month summer breaks

With the stability and variety of benefits of teaching, it is no surprise that many doctors who originally expected to be researching and teaching on a college campus, are propelled toward careers as schoolteachers in K-12 schools. ScienceMag.org points out, "You're not worried where your (or your staff's) next paycheck is coming from, a situation postdocs (and ) must deal with sometimes."
The total number of bachelor's and master's degrees in education has increased steadily as a result of an increased demand for teachers.
