A March 17, 2009 article from The Associated Press reports that an increasing number of people are leaving their chosen professions and retraining to become teachers.

Students benefit from the skills and knowledge that these new teachers bring from the years they worked in their former professions. Programs such as the New Teacher Project and Teach for America are available to assist people as they make the transition from the business world to an education environment.
