The Early 30′s Career Crisis
I currently work at a preschool. Thanks to Covid, numbers have been kept quite low and I’ve actually enjoyed this past year teaching. I felt like I grew closer to my kids and we felt like a tight small community.
It wasn’t until last week when we had 5 new kids coming in from a younger class, that things got to me. I started feeling impatient, frustrated, exhausted. I heard bad things about some of the new kids before they came over so I was expecting myself for the worst. Well, so far, I didn’t get the worst but it was still bad. During playtime, some of my new kids decided to do the following; say very rude words, hitting, and choking. From past experience, I knew I just have to be consistent and make my class aware of the expectations we have in class. I even let them decide what expectations to have. I think if I can just keep going, it’ll probably be ok. Lately, I can’t help but feel absolutely FED UP. I feel like teaching is what I should continue to do, but it’s just doing my head in. Been feeling like I should think of an alternative career, but is it too late for me?
I recently got approved for my Green Card, so it allowed my husband to quit his job and study to become a Software Engineer. I agreed to support him throughout his studies (insurance, helping out with food and bills), while he continues to pay rent. As much as I am happy for him, I also feel some pressure to keep my job.
I took a mental health day today because it just got to me really bad this morning. I didn’t want to get out of bed at all. Normally, I would get up right away to shower and leave for work . I just didn’t want to do anything at all but sleep.
I’m trying to work out what I want to do. I absolutely love teaching but I can’t help but feel exhausted. Teacher burnout is real.
After a nice shower and a lovely walk at my neighbourhood park, I’ve decided to do something to help me cope for the next few months:
1. Possibly change my hours. I currently start at 7am and the lack of sleep has really affected me. Now that my husband has to study from 9 to 6, at least a later shift will help me match my husband’s.
2. Decide if a change in teaching environment is all that I need. Maybe I’m more suited to a smaller class environment? Or a public school environment that gives me more breathing space to plan?
3. Look into alternative careers. Maybe I do need a career change? Something that involves all of my existing skills. We shall see.
So yeah, here’s an update that nobody waited for!
To whoever made it this far - thank you for reading this :)

I’d be lying if I said that the isolation from COVID hasn’t been helping with my teacher burnout. It’s tough not to see students through till the end of the year. It’s tough not knowing what is going to come next fall.
We are also on the cusp of serious social change. It’s impossible not to feel burnt out. But for every candle we burn, we must make another. We must have light.
