Teaching & MS
Hello,
Has anybody here changed from teaching career to something else? I've recently gone back full time as I can't afford to be part time but I am *struggling*.
I'm tempted to try starting an online tutoring business but I'm nervous about the fluctuations in income and not having the same salary each month. I just feel the rush every morning to get out and drop my little girl at nursery and get to work a few minutes before the kids is causing unnecessary stress. I also seem to have sensory overload, which I didn't have before I'm unsure if this is MS related or not but I quite often am exploding when I get home and my partner or daughter are talking to me when other things are happening. I don't feel like I'm doing well at teaching or being part of my family.
Not sure where to go from here really, would love to hear from anyone who's changed form teaching!
I was in the fortunate position to take early retirement last year, in fairness I think I’ve slowed down since retirement, I don’t know if it’s because I’m not as active or natural progression of MS.
I resigned from my teaching position because of lack of support from my administration. I love teaching and this year marks all the students I taught graduating, I am now working for the department of transportation in my state making about tge same amount of money as I was making more with my overtime. I have looked at ways to get back into teaching and I really haven’t found anything without the problems you have run in to.
