Half Way There

So. You are ready to leave education. What’s next?

Many educators are turning a new leaf as the covid pandemic adds additional stress and strain on teachers and learners. Just like an addiction the first step is stating that you have a problem.

Many teachers have identified the troubles with this career but have accepted that after a year of less structured “remote learning” they just can not go back. While it may sound silly to abandon the job security of education during a pandemic, many teachers are burnt out and demoralized, ready for a change.

Where do we go from here? We soul search, pray, and apply. While it may seem difficult to translate our jobs into the corporate world, any educator has the organization, long range thinking, and management of 30+ hooligans. I think those skills are in high demand.

Search for the positions to train others, to write curriculum, to invest in your interests. Simply because your degree certifies you to heard cats, that doesn’t mean you do not have other strengths.
