I teach high school so I work for public school district, 12 years in my current one. Prior to that I was for 2 years elsewhere. Before that I taught 5 years somewhere else again . Changed jobs due to relocation. I was also a schoolparaprofessional for 5 years total in between teaching jobs. Again due to relocation. So 24 years in education, 19 specifically teaching.

No promotions. Not in my line of work.

In Addition to teaching I often worked random jobs to supplement my income as we took pay cuts and had pay freezes in my school district. Currently my extra job is in retail. Around 2-3 evenings a week. It’s been two years. It’s mindless and undemanding but gets tiring. It’s a little part time job so no promotions. They want me to work more but I can’t and won’t. I wish I can stop working two jobs but we didn’t have raise for 8 years. Education sucks in my state
