I’m 50 next year and looking at doing the masters in teaching and want to know how many of you are happy with teaching or are you looking to move on?

I really only want to do supply teaching and from what I’ve heard via friends they don’t really struggle with supply work and all have been offered contracts etc. a lot of the time which are term based etc.

Though what I see on here is many who state they are looking to move on etc.

Tell me how you feel and where you are in your career? I’ve heard of people doing the masters to literally only teach for a year!

I’m two months into my diagnosis. I’ve been prescribed IR Ritalin (up to 60mg a day but I’m just using 40mg) and have found it to be good. I don’t ever feel ‘wired’ and I’ve been able to do things like be on time (an absolute game changer for me) and sort through cupboards and generally do things I used to always put off such as emptying the dishwasher and putting clothes away etc.

I have an upcoming appointment with my psych and I’m curious how many were able to try other meds which for me would be IR dex. Whilst I’m finding the Ritalin to be good I’m now wondering if I might get even better results from IR dex? Is it possible within your first six months to try both forms of meds? Anyone done this? Or am I likely to just get the same results with both types of stims?
