36. Should I Leave Teaching?

About this episode

Many of us constantly wrestle with the idea of leaving teaching, but don’t know if we can actually move on from what we know. If you’re anything like me, you got into teaching because you love it and are there to impact students in a positive way. But over time, the act of teaching can be exhausting and draining. So if you’re struggling with the idea of leaving teaching, I’m sharing three clues that might give you more insight into your decision.

With each of the three clues for leaving teaching, they require you to examine yourself and intentions, and take a deep dive into the reasons why you’re considering a career change.  It’s also important to note that making such a drastic change might be scary, but embrace it and all your other feelings. Nevertheless, there might be aspects of teaching that you love that can propel you into your next career. Whether you decide you’re leaving teaching or staying, I’m here to help you consider what you want and how to get there.
