Hi there!

I'm thinking of switching careers and moving from special education to tech. Although I love my job, I've come to realize that it's not sustainable in the long-term and conducive for building a family in the future (special education & burnout is a real thing!). However, switching fields brings a lot of insecurity. I have several friends who work in Tech and find it very interesting. I want to work with adults and I want to work in an environment that promotes upward growth. Since my first year of teaching I thought it wasn't going to be for me, but I love my workplace and I love the cause and mission we do. This year, I realized although I may love those aspects, I'm not passionate about what I do and staying to please others around me won't benefit myself or the success of the program. Anyways, my switch would be in August as I have a contract to fulfill. I wanted to take this time to get advice and information on what are good opportunities and skills an educator can transfer into tech. Any advice would be Much appreciated. Thanks!
