What’s happening: As Axios has reported, many teachers are retiring or quitting the profession due to pandemic-era stress, and universities aren’t minting new ones fast enough.

Many of those who quit are enrolling in courses and training regimens as a way to switch careers.

The careers that teachers are migrating toward include software engineer, administrative assistant, real estate agent, behavioral health technician and salesperson, according to LinkedIn’s research.

What to watch: The dire shortage of teachers is already pushing school districts to take steps like asking parents to volunteer to fill classroom gaps.
