Left at the end of last year. Still have not found anything, in spite of a dedicated effort. Anything having to do with education that ISN'T teaching is receiving hundreds of resumes where I live. I'm happy I'm not teaching but boy, I sure do miss the paycheck. I'm seriously thinking of early retirement to access my pension, as the weeks go by and my money dwindles. Looking back it feels like I was way too arrogant about the ease at which I would stroll into offers elsewhere. And just so ya know, ageism is real and it is powerful. Be careful...
I have had a few different jobs and let me say this; every one was better in some way. Be it pay or less stress or just a better life I have seem the other side and it’s awesome. Working “like a teacher” is quite profitable even in this inflationary environment. Take a few years and som something else, they’re so desperate for teachers you can always come back.
Unfortunately I've never been brave enough to admit I'm burned out. Still grinding!
