Teaching is ruining me - UK teacher
I want to say I love my job and in many ways I do, but it's becoming clearer and clearer that it's not a sustainable career for me. I am exhausted, the kind of tiredness that makes your soul feel heavy. I have no life outside of school because I'm so tired and when I do have energy I'm reluctant as I know any expenditure of energy now will be some I don't have in the classroom. I have finished my ECT and I want out. I am finding it impossible to change careers. I have a computer science degree and would like to move into something related to data analysis but I am in an endless dead end cycle where I am too exhausted to pursue the steps I need to change. Has anyone else gone through this? Can anyone make any recommendations?
