RE: CAREER ? NO THANKS !

in #life6 years ago

What can I say? I'm a teacher in a country where education is the poorest paid profession, students CAN do what they want and still get promoted, and on top of it, neither we have transportation, nor materials to work.
Man, I hate my life :(

Heads up! First analyze your current situation and think about what you could do better. I did not quite understand if you do not like your job or if you do not like the circumstances of this job.

If you can not stand your job, quit. It does not make sense to spend a short life in a job you can not stand. I assume that you have studied for your profession. Can you do any other job with this training? Are there options in the private sector? Are there options in other stately institutions? What is the main topic you teach? Who else could benefit from this expertise? Once you have found a goal, create a plan in which way you can make the transition. And then do it as fast as you can.

If it's just the circumstances of the job you do not like try to change your role within the school. This process is named job sculpting. You should think about what you really like about your job. I get the impression that you are frustrated because students behave in a way you dislike. I assume they are loud and lazy.

How about you offer additional voluntary courses at the school, which are usually attended by more ambitious students? Talk to your principal about it, he will certainly promote it.

Is there perhaps a better way to deal with difficult students? How can you motivate these students? Should they change their authority? If you do not know how to proceed, try to take appropriate training in this area. I'm sure your rector will encourage that and offer financial support.

To earn little is frustrating, I understand. How long are your working hours? Are there any opportunities to earn smart money besides the job (for example Steemit - :))? Can you offer services besides the job? Are there opportunities to be promoted as a teacher? Can you invest in assets (stocks, real estate..) to biuld up an extra income?

This was just a quick analysis but I hope I could help you. The most important thing: Get active, get aggressive, change something!
