Jobs You Can Get With a Degree in Education

It’s inarguable that teachers are incredibly important to our communities. But being an educator is not the only path you can take with an education degree. Rather, it opens up several opportunities for you to use your skills. Here are just some of the careers available to graduates with education degrees!

Note: some job titles require additional certifications.

Degree in Education

Teacher

Let’s start with the obvious first — with a degree in education, you can become a teacher! Whether you’d rather teach kindergarteners or high schoolers or any age level in between, entering the education field can give you a chance to help others realize their own passions and make a difference in young people’s lives.

Administrator

If you’re more interested in the administrative side of education, that career path is also open to you with an education degree. One of our partner schools, American College of Education (ACE), offers several advanced degrees and certificates in Leadership and Administration. If managing a school in general sounds more appealing, you might consider administration.

Counselor

Or, perhaps you’d rather work with kids on a more personal, one-on-one level. With an advanced degree in education, you might consider becoming a school counselor. Through this job, you’ll have the opportunity to help students outside the classroom, helping them with decisions about their future or working through personal goals and challenges.

Writer

Teachers can make great writers — after all, you need to have the skill in order to teach it to your students! A great feature of this is that you can find a subject to best suit your skills and interests. There’s technical writing, historical works, and even fiction.

Representative for textbook and school supply companies

Having knowledge of school systems is an important asset when it comes to working with textbooks. A degree in education can help you understand what schools’ and students’ needs are, as well as how your textbooks could help meet them.

Degree in Education

Corporate training instructor

If teaching adults is more in your interest, there’s also corporate training. Many businesses bring in trainers to build certain skills amongst their employees. In fact, ACE even offers a course in Adult Education and Corporate Training!

Curriculum designer

When it comes to high-value schools, they’re consistently trying to make sure what they’re teaching is up-to-date and effective for students. That’s where curriculum design comes in. With this job, you can work to ensure what’s being taught in the classrooms is relevant to what students will need to know — and that it’s taught in a way that best helps the students understand the material.

Students are placed into funding brackets (Elite, Standard, Enhanced) based on our AI assessment. Higher-credit students generate higher upfront payments to your school, while students with limited credit are seamlessly directed to our 0% Payment Plan.

These brackets are established using data from over $1 billion in career training loan originations and may be adjusted periodically based on updated repayment trends.

Important note: Regardless of which bracket a student falls into, they are considered fully paid by your school once funded. The student’s repayment obligation exists exclusively between Climb and the student.

Elite Access not available for Computer Science programs. Upfront percentages vary by industry and loan terms.

Once Climb disburses upfront funding for a student loan, that student is considered fully paid by your school. You will not receive any additional payments for that student—the single upfront payment is complete and final.

From that point forward, the student’s repayment obligation exists exclusively between Climb and the student. Your school has zero liability if the student defaults, and you keep the full upfront payment regardless of the student’s future payment performance.
