My sons school has a number of learning support assistants, some are retired academics who just want to put something back into the system.  My son's science lsa has a doctorate and a germ named after him, which my son thinks is super cool.  

The special needs department has now set up small teaching groups for children who cannot for one reason or another partake in classroom activities.  Groups are no more than 4 at any one time, and many lsa's enjoy working in small groups and seeing on a daily basis an improvement in that's childs abilities.

You could always try that sort of thing and go back to uni later if you wanted to become a teacher.

As a matter of interest, what aspects of psychology did you take to?
