Getting out of education? I am recently credentialed and not yet teaching. I was accepted into a 4month i.t. program that is guaranteeing me 2x the starting teacher salary in four months. After working as a B.T. for 7 years and finally getting my cred, should I make the leap of faith to IT or wait until August for a position to possibly open?

Go for the IT. I'm too far in to quit now only a couple of years til retirement. If I had the opportunity I'd do it. Teachers will always be needed. If I knew way back it would be like this to be a teacher I wouldn't do it.

I know this a little late, but do what your heart is telling you!! Good luck!

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
