Would be interested in some advice on a good way to pivot into a new field without having to get a whole new bachelors.I thought I wanted to be a coach but the kids are such shitheads and the parents are mostly trashy or so far up there kids arse they cant see straight. So frick this i want out. I'm looking to get my masters so if there's one that would be good for getting into something else that would be helpful

You obviously didn't think about it very much.

I'm assuming your degree is in education or maybe some kind of human movement type deal.

You're pretty much screwed unless you can get into sales.

Would help to know what your degree is in... and FYI outside of engineering, accounting, law and medicine.. your degree doesn’t matter at all. Once you’re in a business you will be placed in a position best suited for you

If you get another degree, get an MBA.

You could get an MBA I guess. But it sounds like you need to sit down and try to figure out what it is you want to do with your life, instead of just jumping into another field of education.

So you want to work crazy hours, get your nuts kicked by unappreciative parents, deal with spoiled kids.

For 45K a year

I have a buddy who is a life long coach and makes more mowing yards on the side than from the school

Just stick it out. After you put in enough years and pay your dues you can graduate to being a travel ball coach and sit back and let the money and milfs come to you.

Perhaps you could use another hand to work on your fleet?

You should ask the totally real 10/10 with a massive rack you dumped the fatty for what you should do. Won't keep that figment of your imagination around with no job baw.

As a teacher and former coach with 10 years in, GET OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!

Finish your degree and go to grad school for literally anything else. Try to get a minor in business if you still have time. See what you would need to be accepted into an MBA program or anything else.

You may want to look into the military and get job training there or even a master degree while serving.

If you want to teach, go abroad. Try Disney, they are always needing people to go teach English in China.

I have 2 bachelor's degrees from LSU. Kind of the same situation. I realized that I hated my field when I was a Sr. I graduated and worked in it for a year or so, confirmed that I hated it and went back and got a different degree.

Luckily back then tuition wasn't that expensive so it really didn't hurt me financially going for 7.5 years

What is your bachelors in? Obviously it’s not in “coaching”

I would say to look into private schools where you can lessen some of these issues but most private schools have stricter hiring requirements for teachers.
