Hi everybody
I am just wondering if anyone has any advice for changing careers to be a primary school teacher?
I currently work in professional legal services but I really do not enjoy it. I find it quite stressful with meeting client expectations and other reasons as well so I don’t want to continue in the profession. I am well paid which is the only thing keeping me here.
I am in a very fortunate position where I don’t have a lot of expenses eg mortgage so money is not the most important factor, so I’ve been thinking about what careers appeal to me and primary teaching is one of them. The only things I hear about teaching in general are negative though! Is it really like that? I’ve heard there are no job prospects out of your probation year and the stress is just not worth it. The lack of jobs is one of the main things putting me off. I’m in Scotland if that helps!
Thank you in advance for any advice/experiences!
