Business & Finance - 29 November 2006

I am qualified as a Secondary school teacher of French and German. I completed my training last year, and recently got a temporary part time job (maternity cover) in a school in a very rough area, which was just out of special measures.

I should never have taken the job - I had my doubts about it to begin with, but the reality of the job was beyond my fears. The kids had no respect. I was sworn at, assaulted, and could not control the classes. After 3 weeks, I had become so ill with stress I had to hand in my notice and quit. It was a terrible experience but I think I have destroyed my career in teaching because of it. After all, who would trust me enough to take me on in another school knowing I quit this one?

So now I am left not knowing what to do. I am 31. I have a progressive kidney disease which will put me on dialysis some time in the next 15 years, and a son with autism. I need a pretty relaxed job, but how can I change career path now?

About 3 years ago I got a $10,000 loan from a Credit Union to get rid of some debt and money for me and my wife to move out of state. I paid it every month till it got down to about $7,000. Then I lost my job and my wife was not working. I don't make as much now and about a year later the Credit Union contacted me and said I needed to get 900 dollars by the next day or they would turn my loan over to a Collection Agency. They actually turned it over to a lawyer nd he called me a few times and told me I needed to drive down and see him. Then he sent me a few letters and stuff. And finally when I didn't show up he sent a Sheriff To my house with a summons to apear in his office. I did not go and I called him and told him I would be moving again this time to Texas. He said that the bank would just turn the loan over to someone there. I'm in NY now and have not heard one thing about the loan at all Not one letter or phone call. Did they give up? I've heard that after so many years they do.

I am a graduate student now with over 120K in student loan debt. Including private and federal loans. I'm really concerned about how I am going to pay it all back. I justified it all by saying that I am in a graduate program (currently in my first year of a 5 year PhD program in industrial-organizational psychology at another very pricey school) that will yield a high paying job. Though now I hate my graduate program and what I am studying. How can I manage this massive student loan debt??

I got into a fight with a supervisor a few days ago because my team of managers (2 of which were not by any means qualified for the job) didn't prep their ad which is a part of their JOB and an ongoing issue. Them not prepping it put me behind in the morning, as it does every Sunday morning.

I then left the 3 of them a note (it came out a lot more nasty then I meant it to) on their desk that they have to be prepped (which I admit I shouldn't have worded the note the way I did). I left the note because no one is ever held accountable for what they do and don't do at my job, and I knew that they would continue to slack if I didn't do anything about it.

Basically, the supervisor thing doesn't bother me at all because everyone has a problem with her and many people have fought with her. The only thing I'm worried about is facing one of my 3 co-workers: she's one of those "no one messes with me" / "I'm a b*tch" always has an attitude type.

Any advice / similar experiences?
