You can do alot with a teaching degree. This means that you are able to apply yourself and stick with the schooling to become a teacher and you should be able to work even in the banking industry or even childcare if you do not want to teach. You could open your own daycare business.

What types of jobs DO interest you? A degree in teaching would be helpful in a career in child care, or working in assisted living homes, or in a library. You could always be a substitute teacher part time on the side while you figure out what else you would want to do.
