I have retired from teaching. Before I retired I did just about every job in the education system, from classroom teaching to special education to high school teaching to administration at school, district, and provincial levels. I enjoyed all of them and thoroughly enjoyed my work, maybe because I moved around a lot and tried many different things. I am about to go back to work in the same field as an educational consultant.

While it is a very important part of contentment, it is not your work that will make you happy. Happiness comes from within, and is a choice we make. Best of luck.

Yes, I am so much happier. I taught Kindergarten. I taught pre school, I taught head start. These kids have a lot of energy. I thought about applying for grade higher. But my major was in kinder garden and below. It was a four year degree. I would get home from work. Yes teaching is work. I would be so tired. I would get home and have to sleep. I would have to take a nap everyday. It woar me out to the point I could not function some days. I started to dislike kids.

I never imagined kids could be so tough to teach. It is like they were all suffering from ADD. No offense. Having a daughter this was not good on her. I would come home all stressed out and so tired I would latterly fall into bed. So I knew I had to give up teaching. I went into communications and I ran an office. I had 30 employees under me. That was much less stressful.

Law. Worked on an administrator’s certificate and the only class that i enjoyed was school law. What a great switch. If I have my way, I’ll retire from the practice of law and teach it…and put the two together.

I went into bouncing at bars. When I see kids I used to teach acting up in the bar, I can actually throw them out of the room. Head first!
