[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and will try to answer some questions.

-I left education after 15 years because it was terrible for my health in many ways. It’s a last resort because I feel like I’ll be suicidal again. My students were not getting the best of me before I left.

-I’m newer to consulting and picked a shit time to start, so yes I am very frazzled.

-I live in a small condo, which I could rent out. If I move out I’ll have to move back in with my parents as I don’t even know where I could afford rent in moco.

-I think I have a good network but I know the market is really difficult. I looked for 2 years before landing this job & felt so lucky.

Thanks for the suggestions here. [/quote]
Sorry you are facing this situation. How old is your child and where are your parents relative to their school?

I would think short (through summer), medium (1 year), and long term (new full time job).

Short term you want to save as much as possible and get some income rolling in. Move in with your parents and rent your condo beginning June 1 -either short term or 1 year contract. Immediately apply to the school system as a substitute teacher to be able to pick up jobs this school year and already be in the system for next year. Also look at summer employment with camps, tutoring, pool attendant, etc. The bonus, of getting into schools or a summer part time job is that you can meet more people to network with.

Medium term - as you start looking for jobs split your efforts between your ideal new job and one that is full time, but not your preferred area (e.g. teaching) or seasonal for fall/winter. If you don’t get something by end of summer, plan on staying with your parents for the 2025-26 school year.

Long term, goal is ideal job of course. But until then, you have time to decide if you can afford to move back into your condo.[/quote]
