Oh, god. I do vocational so teens acting like adults and adults as teens.

Yeah.. it was a huge reason why I gave up working in the education sector. It was hell, and it was made a lot worse by the media and politicians pushing lies that teachers were being lazy.

Same here! I’m in education publishing now. Same purpose but completely different role. What did you move to?

That’s so amazing. I can imagine the shift in demand/stress being a bit jarring tbh! I completed my masters in education while I was still in education and I definitely wish I had waited until afterwards because whew the time management. Whichever one you choose, you’ll be great at because you already have a lot more intensive experience than most masters students.
