how can I use a M.Ed. to find a better job if I don't want to teach teenagers?

I enjoy the subjects I majored in, history and geography but something I simply cannot is dealing with bratty children who for whatever reason consider a teacher an enemy.

I am also a registered nurse with almost 4 years working bedside, if that helps.

IMO knowing what you don't like to do is as important as knowing what you do like. What do you like/want to do?

Once you've tracked down some roles you like, translate your work, skills, and experience into the language this new career path speaks. Take online courses as required to fill any gaps and build your own knowledge/confidence.

Become a nurse educator or informaticist. Teach student nurses, work for a hospital as the educator for a unit, do onboarding education, or be the liaison between clinical and IT. Lot of options, very decent pay because of the specialized skill set. Hard part is just finding openings.
