Have you ever completely pivoted fields before? Either leaving this field and going to another one or coming to this field from something else? Was it a rough transition and was it worth it? While I do enjoy Sped and I have invested a lot of my life's energies into the education and training I've needed to be successful, I also want to branch out and try something else I love - for example, photography which I currently enjoy as a hobby.

I made a big pivot from teaching to edtech, and it was definitely a challenge, but also so rewarding. It took time to adjust and build new skills, but pursuing what you love, like photography, can bring a fresh perspective and ignite your passion. If you enjoy it, why not explore that path further?

That does sound like a big pivot, I am impressed that you were able to make that adjustment! I guess for me I am held back by financial constraints. My current job pays decently well and photography is more of a hobby than anything. No existing client base or anything.

Any in-house antitrust counsel willing to offer up some advice? I just started in a firm's well-regarded antitrust group. What do I do over the next few years to make myself most marketable to move in-house? And when is that move actually feasible/ideal for antitrust specialists?

Seems like I can pull work from the whole discipline (merger clearance, civil lit, criminal) — should I spread myself across all of it to maximize my skillset/marketability?

All thoughts and advice welcome. TYSM :)

Anyone else the last to be informed about ANYTHING at their site? I am only a second year SPED teacher and my eyes are already wide open to the fact that admin and Gen Ed teachers so often fail to inform me about important things regarding the grade levels I teach and other school events. Then I’m left scrambling to inform my students and parents of essential information, and I’m embarrassed! My aides also look at me like why don’t you know this? Aggravating.

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.
