About this listen

 Lost your joy for teaching? Sick and tired of the ever-increasing things to do that come with the career? Frustrated with the lack of respect and compensation for working nearly 24/7 and taking the blame for everything that's wrong in education? I was there. That is, until I took the leap and got out of the teacher's lounge. Yep. I quit being a full-time classroom teacher to pursue my side hustle of photography full time. Follow along as I share my journey of entrepreneurship (the successes, failures, and everything in between) and interview other former educators who quit and are successfully navigating life and careers outside of the teacher's lounge.© 2023 Get Out of the Teacher's Lounge Career Success Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Personal Development Personal Success
