I taught for ten years in DC then became an Instructional Coach. It was the worst mistake of my career. I was so stressed, I started to have chest pains and subsequently I had to have a cardiac catheterization . I was on FMLA for 30 days and did not return when my leave period was up. I returned to PG County where I first started teaching and don't regret it. The money was not worth , putting my health at risk. Think before you leap colleagues . All that glitters is not gold.
Lea Congrats on the career change! I made a large leap myself due to unnecessary stress, bad politics, etc. from the corporate world, into teaching..unfortunately my first 'real teaching' job has been a dismal situation and not the 'gold' I would have liked to have reached..may have to do yet another big jump in the upcoming years..we'll see.
