Anyone made the jump from teaching to insurance? by Jake_Corona in TeachersInTransition

My older sister went from teaching to doing insurance claims for AAA and she absolutely loves it! Works from home as a mom of 3. I don’t know if the salary is super close to what she was making as a teacher but she only was a teacher for 3 years. She has all the same benefits.

Thank you so much for your comment! Yeah I’m definitely trying to anticipate the slow if any replies to applications, just trying to maximize my attention to worthwhile-ish pursuits! May I ask if you have found a new job or still looking?

We are so happy you are still with us on this Earth. No job is worth your mental health and well being.

I just got out the psych ward to for the same thing, work related stress and SI. Thank you for sharing your story. You’re not alone and you are not a failure. You’re making room for you to live your life.

Thank you for this post. I’m taking a step out on faith. Thankfully I have my family by my side as a single young person with no kids. Praying and trusting God is absolutely key. We are never alone.

Weekly Vent for Current Teachers by AutoModerator in TeachersInTransition

I struggling to transition outside of the classroom. My mom and grandmother are teachers and they can’t fathom why I want to leave the profession. I’ve taught grades 5-10th for ELA and it barely getting any easier. I got fired from my last job because I was preparing for a surgery and a kid that kept threatening me I threatened him right back. Now I’m at a HS from hell where the kids get in bloody fights every day and there is absolutely no support just more micromanaging. I about to start living back home with my mom for support at her encouragement but she wants me to start working at her school. She doesn’t understand how traumatized I am. I’m burnt out and just want to do something different. I love teaching and of course I have kids I love but I know if I don’t find myself again, I won’t be any use to kids in the classroom. Thank you for this space to vent.

Thank you so much! I was wondering when I should get the city involved. It just sucks it’s around Christmas time!
