I have a teaching degree. How do I write a cover letter explaining I want a career change and sound convincing

My resume pertains to my teaching degree and experience in the classroom etc. How do I write a cover letter explaining I want a career change. I have my Master's in education, but places I apply to would take someone with a GED over me because I don't have the experience in their field. I need to make them understand that having furthered my education that I am capable of learning a new job and am fully trainable.I have a teaching degree.

Wow, that's a big move. You have a Master's in education, that's great, but it can't exactly help if you did something like, say, construction. You have to be fully prepared for a lot of stress when switching jobs like that. Your letter shouln't suck up, but instead, you should subtly inform them that you feel like you have better oppurtunities and that it has nothing to do with the work environment or people. As for the people you want to employ you, don't just apply, ask for an interview.
