I have decided that teaching is possibly the perfect job for me.
I need to know what route to take.
I am 41, have no qualifications apart from 7 o-levels (GCSE to the young folk) and, in a perfect world, need to start earning reasonably soon rather than take the next 4 years off to do a full-time degree.
I am volunteering in my local school which I am also governor of. I am a Sunday School teacher (don't laugh) and a football coach. I have been full-time househusband to Marley for 4 years on and off. Apart from that, I have done a variety of non-education based jobs
MY initial thoughts were to get a teaching assistant job and see if I liked it enough to take on teaching full-time but teaching assistant jobs are rarer than hen's teeth especially for someone as inexperienced as me.
Now I am looking at on-the-job training because of the need to earn money.
I have also heard that, if you teach 16-18 year olds in evening classes, you don't need a degree but I haveno idea how that works.
Suggestions please
