Teacher Pivot: L&D, Project Mgmt, or Specialized Writing

The user, a 29-year-old teacher in Canada, is seeking a career change with a minimum target of $80k/year and growth to six figures, open to further education, and explicitly disliking sales. Her teaching background provides strong transferable skills in communication, curriculum development, project management, empathy, and leadership. Her passions (genealogy, true crime, medical stories, history, politics, coaching) suggest an interest in research, analysis, and storytelling. Promising career pivots include:

1. Instructional Design/Learning & Development (L&D): Directly leverages teaching skills for corporate training, often remote, with strong growth potential into management or specialized roles.
2. Project Management: Teachers inherently manage complex projects (curriculum, events, classroom), and a PMP certification could validate these skills for various industries.
3. Content Creation/Technical Writing: Aligns with her interests in research and storytelling, focusing on medical, historical, or legal topics. This may require portfolio building but offers creative outlets. Hard skills like Excel (as suggested in comments), and potentially specialized software for L&D (e.g., Articulate Storyline) or project management (e.g., Jira, Asana), would be beneficial. Pursuing relevant certifications or short diploma programs could accelerate her transition and earning potential.
