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.)
✓ DECIDED to “Just Quit” – You may not know the date, but you have made the decision.
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.)
✓ Visualized how you will celebrate after you “Just Quit” – What will you do the moment it is over? What about that night? & The next morning? & The morning after that?

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.
