How can I change my visa extension from education to work in Thailand?

The user is looking to change their visa extension from an education basis (Master's program) to a work-related reason. They inquire whether others have gone through this process and seek advice on whether to apply for a work permit before or after obtaining the new extension. Commenters provide insights, indicating that if the user is on an 'Education Plus' extension, they can change to employment without leaving Thailand. However, if on a standard education extension, they will need to exit the country to obtain a Non-B visa and suggest consulting with the university, employer, and immigration office for specific procedural details.
