I am in mid 30s with a degree in history. I make less than 35k in my teaching job as I work at a Christian Highs School. I need to make more money but have no idea what type of jobs to even apply for. Anyone leave teaching for another career? How did it work out for you?
Get another job first. Then leave teaching.
You're young enough to start a new career if you don't wait. Don't end up like me, 51 and trapped. I have no idea what your talents and interests are. Maybe go over to a community college and take some sort of interest assessment test?
Good luck.

You have several options.
I was you before I got an MS in Education Admin. now, I'm and associate AD in a public school. no grading homework, but late nights now and then. I make almost 3x my previous salary at a parochial school. the MS is typically only 2+ years.
