I also have a Master's in Education. I don't want to discourage you, but I will start with the bad news. Most people in this country believe it is very, very easy to teach and as a result those of us who have a teaching background are pretty unemployable in most fields even though we all know we have great skills. I went into temping for a while because I found it nearly impossible to find anyone willing to take a chance on me. I learned from Human Resources professionals who would be honest with me that they would rather take a chance on someone without a degree than a teacher because teachers can't think for themselves and cannot take direction.
This is a bizarre stereotype and I have no idea where it comes from, but it made me HAVE to temp so that employers could see how very capable I was.
Some people DO make the leap from teaching into other professions. Usually this leap is done over time and is hard to do while unemployed. There are many fields that love the kinds of skills teachers bring, but first you have to analyze what it is you want to do.
This is what I finally did: After temping and being offered many full-time jobs that were not right for me, I took some advice from my aunt who is a teacher that she had from her principal: Go back to where you last felt comfortable, and move forward from there. This was what led me to law school, and I am finally, for the first time, really feeling like I'm in the right place.
I was actually a really good teacher, but I was never completely happy when I taught, and now I finally know I'm in the place that's right for my skills AND interests. I don't necessarily recommend this for you, but I do recommend going back to what you last felt was "right" and use that to guide you in your move forward. As it turns out, for me, where it was last completely right was HIGH SCHOOL, where I had considered becoming an attorney, but just didn't for whatever reason. My teaching experience and degrees were not a waste of time and money (I have to keep reminding myself), but experience. In my case, I am very different from most of my classmates in law school because
I have lived another life and have consciously chosen this path. I also have found a field in which my teaching background is NOT considered a detriment at all (lawyers, weirdly, "get" teachers...they use the same skills and aren't overly critical of a past in teaching).
So, don't get discouraged. If you're not sure what to do, I highly recommend temping. You may fall into the right job, but even if you don't, you will gain a LOT from being out in the business world. I happened to get one assignment in particular that was on Sarbanes-Oxley in the insurance field (of all things), and I liked it quite a bit, and considered staying.
I never had such exposure to the business world in my classroom, and temping is a lot like subbing: you get the experience and can try things out until you find something that works. While you temp, you might be able to find for yourself where you last felt comfortable and move forward. At the same time, you won't be "just a former teacher" or "just a person with an Education degree," but you'll be someone with experience and a working knowledge of business who happens to also have a B.A. and an M.A.
Good luck. This was a painful experience for me (teaching is tied up with your entire life...you can't even watch a movie without thinking of how you could possibly use it in your classroom), and it was hard to find my path since it is a "vocation" career tied up with your whole identity. This will not be an easy switch, but it will be worthwhile.
