Principal or Administrator. 2.Special Education Teacher.3.School or Career Counsellor. 4.Educational Coordinator at Museum, Aquarium, Zoo, etc. 5.Corporate Trainer.6.Educational Consultant.7.Curriculum Developer/Instruction Specialist. 8.Content Developer/Item Writer.

Whenever you do enter a master's level program, the length of time it takes to complete it will also vary depending on whether you go part-time or full-time. While some master's programs can be completed in one to two years if you go full-time, that can feel like a long time to take away from work.

If you wish to teach beyond the high-school level, you will need at least a master's degree. Many 2-year community colleges often hire instructors with only master's degrees, as long as they have some teaching experience.

To get accepted into a master's in education, you'll first need a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. You'll generally also need to choose a speciality: For a Master in Teaching (MIT), you'll decide whether you want to teach elementary or secondary school, and/or what subject you'll teach.

For example, a typical Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program may require sixty credit hours (four full-time academic semesters at 15 credits per semester). A student that pursues this degree on a half-time basis (7-8 credits per semester) will take four years to complete the program.
