Does anyone have any suggestions about possible careers other than teaching if you have an education degree?

I would maybe look at starting up your own business, specialising in either party fun for kids (active based) as you have the skills to control and run them – plus parents would be willing to pay for someone to take control and keep them entertained and active 🙂
or
running / organising some sort of ‘active camp’ for kids…. targeted at overweight, underactive kids, run either camp style during school holidays or as weekly sessions… incorporate healthy eating, varied, fun excercises and sports…. this could be a real winner I think!
With your degree and experience, you would be a top candidate for program manager for any area of student programs such as “Upward Bound” or programs that match kids (or adults) to career choices or to further educational options.
There are also several career tests you can take online (there’s one below) that can help you decide where your other interests may lead you.
Also like what was already mentioned, MOST state jobs only require ‘a degree’ and can let you enter any other area of interest you may want to try.
A four year degree with no experience will put you at a level G-6 if I remember correctly. A park ranger may be just what you’relooking for or park guide or even program guide for an outdoor summer program with kids.
You’ll also be excellent for any summer camping programs involving kids and it may use your degrees more.
Another option is to do physical recreation at nursing homes or YMCA. You may need a few additional courses to be certified in physical therapy for rehabilitation or athletic sports training.
Or look into college level coaching positions – maybe minor league sports?
