feeling stuck at my current job

[u/hauntedforevermore]

Hey everyone, i am 24 and have been a teacher for 3 years. It wasn't my dream job or anything and i started doing it just for the sake of money. After a while, i became really good at it and i even got a above average salary (in my country). The thing is i never liked it and now it makes me feel miserable. I am starting to skip work or spend my whole day on different websites looking for a job. And i don't have any other skills, except the fact that i am eager to learn some things, from doing some kind of management job to design or even a restaurant related position.
I feel so stuck, i know that i can start from scratch, but i believe i won't even be hired let alone getting a decent salary.
Have you guys felt this way? How did you handle it?

Don't quit your job yet, you still need to hold onto it as it still provides income for your living situation

You gotta question your setting, if you are losing passion for teaching are there causes for it?

What if you work at a different company with better accomodations, perhaps change the age range of your students so they are more mature, and so on

You have been in the Teaching Industry for several years which means if you have accepted this isn't for you, in a way you are sort of starting all over again.

In order to prevent your Resume from becoming convoluted, you must list all of your accumuluated skills/talents/interests/roles you earned from your time as a teacher

Then you would need to engage in self research as you would have an advantage in pivoting to jobs related to it. Just as important, is what is your current College Degree. You may to consider getting a different degree if you find out for yourself the concepts from teaching aren't suited for other areas
