Education/Master degree?
Hello, I have a bachelor of science in comp sci / minor in english. For the last few years I have held positions in a university and now a high school district. I plan to continue to work in academia. But, i am having a hard time trying to figure out what to get my master in. i no longer want to do technology. And, i do not want to teach. I like the administrational positions. currently have a managment position at a district office. what should i get my master in?

Depending on your location there may be some limitations as far as what Master's programs are available. But all things being equal to me it's a matter of "Why do you like administration over the classroom?" If you know the answer to that, then you should be able to figure out which way to go. Personally, if I was in your situation, I would get an MBA because that will help you should you leave the education field.

well you can be a super intendant but nothing else. that's why education is such an easy major to graduate with. it pays nothing. go back to school. professors make a lot of money.

If I have a bachelors in Business Management, and choose to get a Masters in Education, can I teach with that
If I have a bachelors in Business Management, and choose to get a Masters in Education, can I teach with that?
I am interested in taking my masters in education. I will have my bachelors in business management in the next year. If I were to pursue education, will I be able to get a job teaching with a master’s in education but no bachelors in education previous to that?

Every state is a little bit different, but basically the answer is yes. I have a bachelor's degree in business administration and I am enrolled in an alternative certification program. Through this process, I still have to take classes, but was able to become certified and begin teaching before I finished the classes. Many people pursue a master's degree in something unrelated to their bachelor's degree, so it's not at all uncommon. You can still get a teaching job if your bachelor's is not related to education and the master's degree will make you more desirable than someone with a bachelor's. The only problem is you may struggle more in the classes since you may not have been taught the basics, but you should still do fine. Good luck!

If you don't mind me suggesting it, there are some "alternate" routes to teaching that are as short as 5 weeks, and get you into a classroom next year. You usually then have to continue on for you Master's degree in Education over your first few years of teaching. And you'll have to be in a poorer school district that is participating. Teach for America is one such program, but it's volunteer (which at least is better than not getting paid and paying for grad school)... There was another one mentioned in the Time magazine article I read last week. About 50% of teachers leave the profession (statistically speaking) within 3 years, so you may be better off taking one of these routes to see if you can and want to teach. (interestingly the statistic is the same, 50% for all regular and alternative certification paths, except TFA, which is lower because of the "volunteer" nature of the candidates) In the Time article they followed 3 new teachers in Memphis. 2 were successful, one whose first career (and degrees) was in Social Work (big surprise, lol), and one who had been a banker. The 3rd was overwhelmed and considering leaving the profession. She had been a military officer before trying her hand at teaching. edit: My Bachelor's degree was a B.S.Ed, and I was still overwhelmed that first year. This is why I'm a big proponent of these alternative certifications. If I'd of decided teaching wasn't for me (I almost did after that first year, but had great success my second year... I guess it just took a year to get a hang of everything for me) I'd of had an Education degree trying to find a job as a banker, or sales manager or something. Since the statistics say 50% will drop out, whether their Bachelor's is in Education, or in another subject like Finance, Engineering, or Pharmacy. . . I tell young kids just to get a degree in something they're passionate about, and do an alternative certification. You may as well have a "fall back" option, with the low success rates of first year teachers.
