My husband received a job offer in Dallas. What’s the teaching market like? I heard Texas has a teacher shortage but then I heard schools are laying off teachers. I’m confused

You couldn’t pay me a million dollars to teach in Texas

Yeah it's become kind of a hostile environment for teachers who are trying to teach unbiased lessons (history in my case). I feel like there's a lot of pressure in TX to teach Christian principles and this doesn't always work with the curriculum and/or with the integrity of the materials. Not ot mention that funding is getting cut and classroom sizes are getting bigger. Still, good teachers are always needed

Texas comes to Michigan every year to recruit teachers!

Avoid DISD. I taught Ninth Grade geography. It was a nightmare. Inattentive, unmotivated, telephone-obsessed students with uninvolved parents abounded. Try Plano, Frisco or Allen districts.

Need advice: do you tell your manager that you’re unhappy or do you just leave?

I’m being taken advantage of with being thrown so much work and really don’t see my salary increasing to be in line with my coworkers doing similar work. I’m a consistent high performer - management reviews tell me that much.

My coworker did mention to the manager that they’re not being paid well for the work they do, and our manager took it personally and told them they’re ungrateful 🥲

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

For self employed: max SEP IRA/solo 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max HSA
