I’ve been working in a school district for 10 years. I’ve been a registrar, counseling support, a sub, proctor, and for the last 5 years, I’ve supported the CBO. We are unionized, which has its advantages, but I’ve been finding it more of a hinderance lately. I’m driven to learn more, excel in the support I provide my administrators and the business department and grow as an individual (personally and financially). Do you have suggestions on how to go about breaking into another industry?

Super interesting perspective, what do you think it is about the union that is limiting? I live in a right-to-work state where we don't have teachers unions and I feel like everyone is so certain that our education system would be that much better with a union. But then I hear from unionized teachers that it's not all it's cracked up to be. I would say, if you're looking to fully leave education, there are a lot of companies in the edtech (education technology) space that might be interesting to you. They often value the expertise of someone who has taught

Makes sense. It definitely seems true that a union adds a layer of bureaucracy to any job that could present as many challenges as it does benefits. But yes, you're right, I think the grass is always greener. In general I support union politics but do wish they could work more effectively

OP it sounds like you have some really great experience that could transfer over to a lot of different areas. I would highly recommend working with a recruiter to see what kinds of roles they think you could be a good fit for and then working through them to apply.
