Re: Who Has Changed Careers?
I did. I was an elementary teacher for eight years. I am now working in the Oil & Gas industry as an Engineering Tech Assistant.
Pros about my career change: A whole lot stress, less hours, no weekends or evenings, no parents of kids to deal with.
Cons: Significantly less money, significantly less vacation/sick time, miss working with kids.
Would I do it again? Yes, in a heartbeat.
Would I ever consider going back to teaching? Probably not - unless it was teaching my own hypothetical children.
