Job Satisfaction

English.

Transitioning out of teaching with a humanities degree is next to impossible. There are career coaches that will claim you have a lot of transferable skills but the reality is there is a stigma in the private sector about teaching not being a "real" job and there has been a major outflow of people leaving the profession. Upskilling or going back to school are often the only options.

I'm going back to school in the fall. Its a huge change for me at 41 and not without risks, but I can no longer function like this.

I'm fortunate in the sense that it's just me. No family or spouse or anything. So I can take this risk without impacting anyone else. And worst case scenario I can always reactive my teaching license so I do have a safety net of sorts. But that will be the literal last resort.
Good luck to you! At 41 I went to OT school, which was just a wee bit of a departure from my prior career as a claims adjuster :hihi:

As others have said, it's never too late, And as my staff PT said to me at my last job as director of rehab "Your job shouldn't make you miserable, and forgive me but you really seem miserable"

No job is worth that sort of toll on your physical and emotional well-being. Please keep us updated :)
