If you're really dreading your work and need a change, look for industries that hire 'outside-the-box". There are IT jobs that regularly hire non-IT people. A google search for "get into IT from education" yielded some interesting results, but CyberSec firms are always looking for innovative people not necessarily in Tech already.Man, this speaks to my soul. Going into year 19. The job has changed a lot. People don't understand how hard it is (but that's probably true of almost anyone looking at a job from the outside that they have no experience with).
I usually get the itch by now that school is starting soon, but this year it's just dread and anxiety.
I know I should probably stay because of the years I have put in and how dumb it would be at this point to not get the retirement benefits. But, that also seems a very long way down the road and I just don't know if I can mentally get there.
I also really don't know what else I would do that would have comparable pay. As someone with Secondary Education and History undergrad degree and two Masters in education and educational technology I feel like there's not much out there outside of education that I am qualified for.
I'm not a tech guy, but I've heard a lot about how they hire.
