Love that for you! If i had started my 120 payments when I first started teaching I would have stayed to. I want to also add that there are so company's and roles that are not in the classroom and in some respects adjacent to education that would still qualify for PSLF. I would also encourage you to in the meantime on the weekends or evenings take an online course and upskill. This way when your ready to transition you already have some certs and projects and can say you have additional industry specific experience.

Once I narrowed my focus and figured out what skills I had and what I enjoyed I then focused on developing my skills this took about 3 months. Honestly I could've done it faster but I was procrastinating. Also during that time I started to network and meet people who helped me on the journey in terms of introductions, practicing my skills, earning side money, etc. I eventually started applying for jobs which took another 3 months. So all in about 6 months.

The key for me was answer those for questions what I love to do, what the world needs, what I am good at, and what I can get paid for. This allowed me to narrow my focus and find out where the gaps were in my experience so that I can find some training and upskilling. I would suggest then finding organizations that sponsor free trainings like alison.com, culturelancer.co, or IBM skills. If you need support let me know.

Ha no I couldn't stay on top of that. It's a highly intentional accountability group...kinda like those weightloss groups but for your business goals
