What is a good career path for a 7th grade special education teacher with a master's degree

What is a good career path for a 7th grade special education teacher with a master's degree?
I have no desire to further my career at the high school level. I would really like to get into some type of professional job (financial aid office, recruiting etc.) at a community college, but I'm not sure how to go about doing so. Also, I'm afraid to take a pay cut. I have a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and an Alternative Master's in Special Education. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to look into Non Profits. Here's why I say it. 1. You are good with people. 2. You have the masters in Special Ed which should open doors there. Beware - you may see a pay cut as these are generally Federally sponsored jobs. Check out http://Hired911.com and search for Non Profit jobs - or use the keywords: "Special Education" Masters degree... but they may be more "teaching oriented." One last thought is doing Education in a Professional field, corporate training. You may need to be skilled in Education Building tools to enter that field.

What kind of work can I do with degree in Psychology/Education

What kind of work can I do with degree in Psychology/Education?
I have a BS in Psychology, with minor in Education, Masters in Childhood Education, and MAsters in School Leadership. I have been a teacher for the past 10 years and never felt the need for a change, but I'm thinking maybe in a few years. Are there any other fields besides education that I could use my skills and degrees in. Thanks!

Consider a career in School Psychology or Counseling Psychology. Both will likely require a doctoral degree in psychology from an APA accredited university. Consider talking to an admissions counselor at a local state university for more information.

Do I have to get a Master Degree in Secondary Education and Teaching

Do I have to get a Master Degree in Secondary Education and Teaching?
I heard that teachers are having to get higher degrees to really have a chance at getting hired. I was going to just get a Bachelor degree but I heard the Master would be better. Is that true?

I am in school now finishing up my senior year in early childhood/special education. It is always good to go as far as you can because the higher your degree the higher your salary. I plan on getting my masters in education. Im not sure which field I want to go into but I am going to find a program that will benefit me in the long run. I think employers do consider how much of an education you have when they are hiring though.
