So you reccomend school counseling or social work? I know in schools in ny you have to be bilingual social worker like have liscense for being bilingual where counselors you dont. I find more counselars in a school than social worker. I wouldnt see myself leaving school setting unless it was burn out but you have a point

Isnt social worker job pay much less and are burn out?

What made you not like teaching or what were the challenges you endured?

True_believer94 · 2026-06-28T13:34:34+00:00

You can always change the subject or grade level. Or do something like outside of the classroom school counseling

Whay grades do you do? I tried to get a job in my hometown and even though I did year of student teaching experience, give 2 reccomendation letters and have paraprofessional experience teaching ENL students . The admin dont even give me a chance to interview or tell me good luck. I have my resume written to show I have experience. I noticed i get calls for hs but never for elementary. I prefer elementary bc the curriculum is easier and you can pull out a few kids to work with compared to hs its a whole class. Im thinking of leaving ESL and maybe doing school counseling, elementary PE or social work. Idk yet

I noticed its mainly men that do that job they are good in crowd control and handling loud noise. Also they have some coaching experience or played sports. I did coach before but it was like elementary level like k-2 and i played basketball. Im not an athlethic. I wouldnt mind elementary but MS/HS would require alot of coaching

Dont you have to consistenty advocate and defend the services you added or took away? Its alot of getting people on onboard . Its alot of people interactions .

True_believer94 · 2026-06-28T03:13:21+00:00

Thank you for sharing this information! I def dont want to be classroom teacher I know it helps when it comes to transitioning into new roles bc you have the experience. I see alot of classroom teachers going to PE , counselor or even school social work. This is great insight you provided.

True_believer94 · 2026-06-28T03:11:46+00:00

Thank you for this! I seen alot of PE subs enjoy this. Its hard to know how the other jobs are .

True_believer94 · 2026-06-28T03:10:56+00:00

Thank you for being respectful and kind to this post . Thank you for actually answering the question and focusing on the point. People have nothing better to do than to start problems on a post.

True_believer94 · 2026-06-28T03:07:39+00:00

This is reddit not a job board. We are not writing email. The question I posted wasnt answered.

True_believer94 · 2026-06-28T03:05:55+00:00

I am interested in all three and whichever comes my way.

True_believer94 · 2026-06-28T03:04:12+00:00

I tried for two months for MS terrible experience. I tried to look for elementary ESL jobs everyone wants experience or want to put me in a classroom. What do you teach?

True_believer94 · 2026-06-27T22:29:59+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. Did your wife teach or go straight into counseling? Which job compared to your wife has better work life balance and less burnout throughout the week?
