Lookback: 2 years after leaving the profession

I'm leaving teaching due to mental health concerns

Teaching took a toll on my mental health, affecting my life expectancy

What I wish I knew
"More about non-education roles with similar pay"
If I could tell you one thing
"Research non-education roles carefully before making a transition"
