I’m so done.

Hi all,

I’ve had a very rocky start to teaching. I started with teaching abroad, and had burnout in record time. When I moved back to Canada, I started subbing for the school district here.

Whenever I sub (in for a teacher with a classroom) it is hell. Students are so disrespectful, no support from admin, I leave the day feeling so depressed, dissociated and anxious.

I started looking for other jobs. So I became a massage practitioner , which led to doing mobile massage ($120/hr), serving and line cook. I still sub a few times a week, but everytime is hell and reminds me why I sought out different jobs.

My family keeps pushing me to land a contract position and “really give it a go”. But even half days are hell for me. I can’t imagine doing this full time all year round. My mental health is a priority to me.

What are some other jobs I could look into?
