tired913's journey

I've been working as a substitute teacher in Southern California for the past 2.5 years, and I also have a bachelor's degree in Psychology. My experience includes 6 months as a one-on-one paraeducator and about a year as an administrative assistant during college. While I perform well in my role—keeping classrooms organized, managing misbehavior, and adapting lessons on the fly—I'm finding the job increasingly draining. Some days are particularly tough, with challenging student behavior and little support from administration, which can leave me feeling exhausted for days. I've built a solid network of teachers who regularly reach out to me for shifts, but the unpredictability of substitute work is wearing me down. After discussing my situation with my therapist, I've realized that it's time to explore other career options. I'm unsure where to start, especially given the current job market. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has transitioned out of education and can share insights on transferable skills or potential job opportunities. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
