Career transition

If you are looking at something with "crafts" then you may be looking at working for an after school program or your could become an ECA and work with the schools. I can't speak to what education you need. My assistant has an art degree and no ECE and just got a job assisting in an after school program. I think it pays minimum wage though.

Art therapy is another option. This is a degree program.

I am a social worker. You can get a college degree in social service work which would really limit you to low paying jobs at community centres. Social worker with a BSW has its limitations as well but you could work in a woman's shelter, neighbourhood centre etc using the arts in your programming. As a social worker with an MSW which is what I have, you could become a therapist and provide family and individual counselling. I use a lot of art in my work with kids but there is always meaning with its use and intention or it is a good ice breaker when looking to connect with kids.
