Thank you, this is very helpful. And encouraging.

I’m a high school math teacher looking to leave education. I look at my resume and it is all very specific to education, and math education in particular. I worry that I don’t have the skills on paper that employers are looking for, but I know I could do well in most jobs if given the chance. I have a masters in math, but I specialized in theory so I do not have the background to go into something like data science. What is my best hope for breaking out of education and into a field where there is potential for salary growth? I’m almost 42 and would prefer not to go back to school. I’m already over educated and have student debt. Thank you!
