I am returning to school to switch careers to teaching. I wonder how teachers would compare the stress and exhaustion of teaching to what I currently deal with?
I commute 2 hrs to get to work. After 3 yrs, I am at the midway point of my career, and I've been bored the whole time. I hate that I give so much of myself for a job that isn't interesting or challenging, and what I do doesn't make a difference to anyone except the shareholders. At the end of my 8-hr day, I commute another 2 hrs to get home, and I often bring work home with me. I'm so exhausted and drained by the time I get home, that I have no energy to enjoy my family or hobbies. All jobs even remotely related to my career seem the same.
Teachers...would you say that your stresses are significantly greater than what I currently deal with? Would you trade your stresses for mine?
