Why Are You Thinking About Quitting Your Job Without Another One?
I am mentally and physically drained.
I don’t believe in my profession anymore.
I don’t think my profession treats anyone well and it operates under old and unethical paradigms.
I don’t like dealing with large groups of kids anymore. In fact, I hate it. It sucks the life from me.
Are you prepared to quit? Check those things that you have already done.
Completed a spreadsheet to find out how long you can go without a job
Saved or have access to enough money for 6 months for basic expenses
Have a general idea or specific plan about what you really want to do (Without doing this you’ll probably get stuck again doing something that makes you miserable.)
✓ Thought about how this decision will impact your family/spouse/children
✓ Thought about “The Story” you’ll tell about “Just Quitting” (while between employment)
✓ Talked to others who have “Just Quit”- Listened to their stories/what they did (Note: You will not find many people who’ve had the courage to do this. Most people stay stuck or wait until they find another job.)

Determined the actual date you can “Just Quit” (This is your “Just Quit” date.)
✓ Thought about your plan for leaving on good terms; such as; writing your resignation letter if you are an employee (You MUST do this and give proper notice. NO EXCEPTIONS.)

Education does not respect teachers. It used to be my dream to teach. If I could start over and I were just graduating from college today, right now, there is no way in hell I would take a teaching job.
