Hello all...

I was a teacher and coach for 13 years. I've decided to give it up due to inability to focus for a full year and all the BS attached. I used to always start the year off excited/motivated and by October basically give-up. Now I have zero excitement at the beginning of the year and feel like Im robbing the kids from a teacher who is balanced and gives it their best the majority of the time.

This year I took off to write and try my hand at business which is looking like its going to fail.

I've been racking my brain as to what I could do and I can come up with nothing. Even though Im broke I have family support which keeps me off the streets. I was thinking of going back for an MBA or maybe something new.

I have a BS in criminal justice and a Master in Ed. and they look like they are both useless at this point.

Im bipolar to my core. Super creative when in mania and useless when depressed. Im on meds now and finding my balance, but get depressed due to my lack of success with career and being broko at 42..

Anyone make any interesting transitions from teaching here??
