Teachers are quitting in droves for new careers, but the transition can be bumpy. Here’s how some made the leap:

And the teacher exodus could grow in the coming months. In a National Education Association poll conducted in January, 55% of teachers said they would leave education sooner than planned, up from 37% who said so in August.

Ms. Wilson started with an education tech startup in April. In the fall, she moved to a similar role with more pay, which she found through a LinkedIn contact. These days, she says she receives as many as two dozen messages a day from teachers looking to change careers. Lissett Bohannon says she is now able to help students on a larger scale than she could in her counseling role.Some former teachers caution against picking a new career field mostly because it is in demand or promises higher pay. Lissett Bohannon says she loved her work as a high-school guidance counselor in Austin, Texas, but not the stress of doing it amid a pandemic.

“I had to take a chance on myself, my mental health, my well-being and still following my passion but in a different way,” says the 36-year-old Ms. Bohannon, adding that she is now able to help students on a larger scale than she could in her counseling role. “Teachers, just because of what they’ve experienced, they seem like they are a lot better fit for the workforce than other people who come out of different industries,” he says.
