Good answer!

yes, info on how to get started. A lot of employers are looking for experience or examples of similar work. A good way to do that is through volunteering or starting with small, freelance projects. I myself have started freelance work through sites like Upwork and flexjobs where it's easier to get hired with less experience.

I just recently resigned my teaching position for a position in another state to be closer to family. I will be making a lot less money (about 1/2 as much). Am I crazy to give up a high paying teaching position that took me 12 years to get to on the pay scale or is being closer to my family worth the pay cut? Anybody ever found themselves in a similar situation? I gave up tenure too. Honestly, I wasn’t happy living in my home town making the most money I've made. I guess it’s a leap of faith!
