Thanks for all the responses. Food for thought.

I'm mentally committed to staying at my current school for at least the rest of the school year, maybe one more. In the meantime, I have reached out to a local organization to offer my services as a volunteer. I hope to get a sense of what an MSW might help me find. I appreciate at the folks advising me to look at another school or get certified, but I think I am just mentally/psychological/spiritually burned out with teaching. Like I said, I understand there's no such thing as an easy job, but I'm looking for a different one that might be the right fit for me. Maybe I will try some freelance / volunteer work in some sort of writing or editing role to see how that feels.

I think I'm still open to social work / counseling, library work, but maybe not nursing. I realize that both those fields often involve very challenging populations and work environments, but I'm drawn to what I am drawn to, I guess. I do not really want to work in retail or admin. I have done both and don't want to go back to that work when I no longer need to financially. I don't think working from home or in a back office is for me, either. I have social anxiety and am very introverted so I don't enjoy being around others all the time, but I think I need to be around other people and be out in the world. It pushes me, challenges me, helps me grow, helps me feel more productive. I don't like it, but I think I need it.[/quote]
