Newly pregnant and hate my current job. Would it be crazy to go freelance? Feeling a time crunch to have my career figured out before a baby gets here but sadly don’t think it’s in the cards for me.

Get my insurance through my husbands job. Have a decent amount of savings.

Damn, good to know!

Yeah, seems so complicated. Wish i didn’t have to figure this out now. But the longer i wait the more trapped i feel here.

Honestly there are agencies that would give you paid leave even if you’re hired pregnant. Others have a minimum tenure. So it doesn’t hurt to interview around. And if you decide to interview while on leave, that’s fine too. Keep your options open.

If they’ve made the offer, I don’t see why not.

Suppose you agree that the provided professional development offered through our districts is ineffective. Why not invest in your professional development by seeking a coach or mentor or even pay for professional resources that would help? To put it plainly, why don't we educators invest in our professional development?
