The career that I found was an Education Consultant II working in North Carolina which would be great for most of us. According to the website, "The primary purpose of this position is to supervise and align the development, enhancement, assessment, and maintenance of social studies standards and curriculum to 21st century skills at the 9-12 level. The duties of this position include using technology tools; clarifying curriculum goals and objectives; writing and revising documents related to the curriculum; identifying and locating resources; developing training materials and delivering quality training; planning and conducting meetings related to the State Board of Education's initiatives related to social studies; and collaborating with internal and external divisions/organizations to facilitate implementation of the State Board's ABCs plan, No Child Left Behind and other initiatives as needed. Some travel is required.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES:An ideal candidate will have a working knowledge of the NC Standard Course of Study for Social Studies; best practices for social studies instruction and how to implement these best practices in his/her classroom or through workshops/training with teachers; computer software programs including Microsoft Office, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.; and should have the ability to collaborate with others in planning, developing, and delivering curriculum materials and training.
Minimum Requirements: Minimum requirements include a master's degree in any of the social studies content areas and a minimum of four years classroom teaching experience. Preference will be given to candidates with experience relating to social studies; or an acceptable equivalent combination of education and experience.Management prefers candidates who incorporate digital literacy into the instructional curriculum and candidates who have experience in public relations, administration, supervision, and national initiatives. "
My Bachelors Degree was in Applied Social Science which would fit perfectly with this job. I don't know yet if and when I will leave the classroom, but for now, I don't think I will be ready to leave. I love my job. :) Once I am ready, I do think I would seek out a field similar to this one.

I read that one also. It is sort of like a school ITF but you get to focus on one specific subject--that would be nice.
This sounds perfect for the teacher who wants to be more involved in the administrative aspects of public education on a state planning level.
This looks like a pretty high-level position, one for a person who has a passion for any of the core social studies disciplines. To that end, it looks like it could be very rewarding and, at times, frustrating. I think I would enjoy a position like this if I were even remotely qualified. Good pick!
I do like the fact that you are only working with one subject. I teach fourth grade and sometimes I find that it is overwhelming to teach reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. I think it would be nice to just focus on one subject.
I would think working with only one subject you would be able to be more specific with your materials and designs. Sometimes I wish we had a Techy in our school for each subject! Its hard to see how the big picture can apply to each area sometimes.
