I currently work in education, but I am looking to transition out of it, quickly. I am an ESL coordinator and have been wanting to leave education before all the politics came into it. After experiencing the lack of funds and support that students and staff get, it truly is disheartening. My question is, what are some good careers that I could possibly transition to? Thanks!

I've been doing some thinking along the same lines, as it doesn't look like public education in America has much of a future. The thing people always talk about when switching careers is what transferable skills do you have. So I think that's the place to begin, do some brainstorming about the skills you've developed. And think about where they could be put to use. And, of course, think about the kind of work you'd like to be doing.

My daughter is an ENL teacher, she works hour shy of being FT therefore the job is considered PT under a non teacher’s union. She has no medical insurance, and considered instructor. This is the thread in many school districts. Amazing that Biden let 10 million undocumented in with children and did not fund schools to support the staff needed. I also see many teachers retiring because they are teaching classes, and many students can’t understand what she is saying.

I have to support my family financially. Usually my mom cooks for the family so groceries only cost $1200/month. However, my mom is abroad for 2 months so it’s just my siblings and they can’t cook so they’ve been using my card for doordash. I think there are days when they spend $100+/day. It’s frustrating because my mom already told them the daily budget repeatedly. I’ll go bankrupt at that rate. However, it’s not like I can take my card back since I don’t want them to starve…

Junior Associates - How much student loan debt are you and your peers in these days? A few young partners and counsel at my firm were discussing the student loan moratorium and most of us were convinced we could have paid the majority of our loans off with the bonuses associates got these last two years. But we are all old and when we graduated 150k to 200k was about the max student loan debt people graduated with. So educate me. What is the average student loan debt these days?
