Lookback: 2 years since leaving teaching

Seeking a change from office job to a more fulfilling career

I miss teaching and feel unfulfilled in my office job, missing creativity, movement, and meaningful work

What I wish I knew
"To consider my values and skills before taking a job"
If I could tell you one thing
"Explore careers that align with your values and skills to find a fulfilling job"
