Teaching has many transferable professions. What about corporate trainer? If you take online profiles questionnaires like the Myers Briggs it will give you other career choices.

If you like teaching, you might consider augmenting your salary by tutoring individual students or by joining a group that offers exam prep courses. This way you can stay in your desired field while increasing your earnings.
