Hello Forum Members.

I am considering a career change, mostly out of boredom with the way technology has been dumbed down to appeal to low-cost programmers, to teaching. I have a Master's degree in training/organization development and have worked as a documentation and training specialist for many years.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a recruiter or school I can talk to that makes sense for someone of my background. Many of the certificate programs I've seen try to cram the highlights of what I already did in my Master's program into a short schedule. Most are aimed at teaching children or assisting immigrants who want to work and shop in the U.S.

If I change careers, I'd want to work with adults or secondary school students and specialize in any of the fields I've worked in for years -- manufacturing, aerospace, software development, etc. The countries I'm most interested in are Spain, South Korea, South America ... countries with strong cultural and spiritual ethos that I can learn from also.

Thanks.
