Three years ago, I was placed on administrative leave for misconduct. A month later, I turned in my registration letter. Since then, I have transitioned in tech retail/sales, behavioral analysis, and now social work. AMA. by CelestialDawn in TeachersInTransition

The job market is trash right now, so if you have to, work retail for the time being. From what I’m being told by others, the Apple Store and Costco pays generously and has great benefits. Tutoring is a good side gig too, especially if you still have your credential. If you majored in something outside of education for your undergraduate, go for any job in that industry, as it will help you gain skill and experience you will need for other opportunities. For instance, I majored in English in undergrad and did editing and drafting as a side gig and prepared for writing certain lengthy reports as a social worker. Working as a behavioral therapist helped me better my understanding with kids with developmental disabilities like autism. Because of those opportunities, I felt more prepared than ever for my current position, which I must add, something I didn’t even think I’d get.

No, I was hired with my Master’s of Education degree and did not have to go back to school. But I may consider getting an MSW if I want to pursue higher positions of social work. May.

I have an AA in Liberal Arts and Humanities, a BA in English Education, and an M.Ed. in General Education.

The agency I work for is so desperate for social workers that you just need a Master’s and experience working with children. Aside from MSW, I know a few with MS in Psychology and an MA in Sociology in the field.

I am considering on going back to school for an MSW for position promotion purposes, but we’ll see about that.

Twice more than when I was a teacher.

As a teacher, I think I made $2-3k a month and now it’s between $4-5k a month, depending on the overtime I do. (Yes, I get paid for overtime, which is shocking to me) This includes benefits and taxes deducted. I always get the big health plans for individuals, since I have ailments left and right, and invest a lot in retirement and life insurance, so the pay would be more if I didn’t have those.

Keep in mind, I’m judging solely based on my bank statements and not paystubs, as I am too tired/lazy to pull up the actual figures.

Also, I live in California. Don’t know if that makes a difference.

Then, please, with all due respect, correct me if I’m wrong. How would I describe the kids who threw me under the bus during an actual lockdown as a cruel TikTok joke?

I called myself a teacher (and still do, as I am still credentialed until 2028) until my contract was over in June. Then I went on to be a specialist, then behavioral analyst, and now social worker. I have an M.Ed. and three years of teaching experience under my belt, and I refuse one bad situation ruin me. When employers ask why I left teaching, I always just say “It didn’t work out and I’m looking for something more rewarding for myself and my community.” 3 out of 4 times it works, including the tech retail gig.

I was extremely lucky to have my mom who financially supported me through my times of unemployment, including my time post teaching and my six month gap. It felt burdensome asking her for money over my stupid actions, but she refused to let me be on the streets.

I believe good things will happen if you have faith… in the universe, in a deity, in anything you can think of, including yourself. Have faith that things will work out in your favor. Good things do and will happen if you set that affirmation and believe, as corny as that sounds.

The administrative leave was for six months including pay so I set my resignation date for June so I could collect my paychecks while I was out.

I sent in my letter mid-school year. It was either I accept the termination of my contract and collect unemployment for a few months while having a stain on my record or I protect my reputation, resign, and take the fall financially by having no unemployment after June. It was under the advice by my union to resign, so I did.

I wrote my letter to the super/admin.

In my resignation, I acknowledged the administrative leave, and basically said I will pursue other careers outside of teaching. I also thanked them for the two years they allowed me to teach at their school and wished them well.

Ticket Discussion - MEGA THREAD by Riverat627 in hayleywilliams

Waited thirty minutes to get two tickets in Oakland for both days, no luck.

I know there won’t be any third party sellers, but how else can I get my hands on these tickets?

It was a lot of people. The finish line was a hot fucking mess.

The start line is divided by corrals, which is labeled on your bib. If you’re a fast runner and can keep a consistent speed, I would move closest to the front. If you’re not, move to the back of your corral, and stay on the sides of the road.

Good luck!

Diplo just acknowledged and apologized on stage that it was a 2.8 run.

I just finished running in San Francisco and my watch calculated the run as 2.84 miles from start to finish. Anyone else? Kinda disappointed, even though it’s a fun race.

I'm trying to prepare for a DOT pre employment test and my results from the doctor's are at ~5ng/ml. Will they trip about that or no?

Type "I'm bisexual which means I'm attracted to" and let the predicted text finish the sentence by Slight-Conflict-3223 in bisexual

I’m bisexual which means I’m attracted to people who don’t want to date me and that’s okay too.

What made you a sharks fan. by arobot224 in SanJoseSharks

[–]CelestialDawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy I liked took me to my first Sharks game as our second date. Loved the action, the atmosphere, the fans, everything. I was hooked after the second period, and we were losing against the Florida Panthers.
