1 Reflect Deeply

Take the time to reflect on your career in education. Think about your initial motivations for entering the field, the milestones you've achieved, and the challenges you've overcome. Consider the aspects of your job that still excite you and those that may have become burdensome. Reflection can help clarify your feelings and guide your decision-making process. It's essential to distinguish between temporary burnout and a deeper desire for change.

I will take this matter with my mentors or colleagues to listen to their point of view. I will introspect the reasons for it. These are some steps to understand the reason for such situations. However, I will also take some parallel actions like corporate training or MDPs which may change one's point of view. Because sometimes when we deliver the same subjects for multiple semesters, it results in monotonous behaviour leading to thoughts on changing the procession. But if we involve ourselves in some challenging or new task, then results can be different.

This might happen with any career specially when you're dealing with the most evolving homo sapiens. Sometimes we need to go back and ask why did we choose the teaching field. Perhaps we could get down the memory lane and find some beautiful memories which can recharge us. We've to remember that we didn't choose this just to quit one day.

If I am uncertain about continuing my career in education, I will take time for introspection. I'll Reflect on what initially drew me to the field and whether those reasons still resonate with me. Consider my passions, strengths, and long-term goals. I must seek guidance from mentors, colleagues, or career counselors. I'll Explore alternative paths within education or entirely different fields that align better with my interests and values. Ultimately,I'll prioritize my personal and professional fulfillment when making this decision.

Currently facing this exact issue. I have stepped away from the classroom, ensured that financially my family will be provided for while we cut back on our spending. This is freeing me up to explore what else I am passionate about and upskilling in small business management while I explore avenues to be my own boss. This is allowing me the time to figure out how my passion as an educator fits into this, reflect on what were the problems with the system I was in, connect and listen to parents and students as I meet them with a different identity, one of them, and not "The Teacher". I find that they are very frank about their experiences, their roles and their challenges. I believe that my career has shifted from schooling to learning.

5 Financial Planning

Assess your financial situation carefully before making any significant career changes. If you're considering retirement or a move to a less lucrative role, it's crucial to understand the financial implications. Consult with a financial advisor to review your retirement savings, pension, and other income sources. A solid financial plan can provide the security needed to make career decisions that are right for you, not just financially driven.

6 Personal Well-being

Finally, prioritize your personal well-being. A career in education is often demanding, and it's vital to maintain a healthy work-life balance. If your career is impacting your health or personal life negatively, it may be time to consider changes that can improve your overall quality of life. Remember, your value as an educator is not solely defined by your job; it's also about the life you lead outside of work.

I think this is a time to be really honest with yourself. A long time career in Education can take a personal toll on all aspects of your life. It is a job that requires constant updating of general teaching knowledge regardless of whether you are well qualified in terms of academic qualifications. If you have given your all to an education career maybe it is time to do something completely different. A good dose of self reflection is required.
