[quote=Anonymous]Another former career changer here.  All the above advice is excellent. It’s truly not a family friendly job.  The system is so inefficient with so many redundancies and initiatives that make no sense with the real-life needs of the job 
If truly feels like they are making you prioritize someone’s education doctorate each year….its always forgotten after the big huge push. It’s so exhausting.  And if you speak up about what you are seeing the students actually need- well - that’s another story.

One of the concepts I struggled with the most is that the district I worked in (large) did not follow traditional managerial or employment practices.  What I experienced as a former high level researcher in terms of professionalism of administrative staff was abysmal. I really struggled personally because I KNOW employment law and they sure do try to skirt it.  It’s really frustrating if you do not have a supportive team.

There are definitely rewards, but I personally found them to not be worth the extreme stress and demands of the job.  The unions seem to not be able to control much except for wages.

Perhaps try substituting for a bit? It’s not the field it used to be.   [/quote]
