I'll be leaving my teaching job

Hi basqui! I just wanna say Congratulations to your new endeavor. Sure some of the good work ethics in teaching would help you as you embark on this journey. Good luck!

Wow....! is great, what you are planing is not bad,as a human being we all like to be our selves boss and if you don't regret in latter than is better to do your own business and go on your own way and leave the job what you are doing now and go on and make a successful what you through and I wish you to be success as well as be great business in your future.I think you are good in communication skill which you have to deal with costumers and make interact with you.

That's a brave thing you are doing. I hope you succeed in your dream. I'm sure with your hard work and determination, you'll end up doing very well.

Are you settled with your mobile repair and sales things?. If you are than it may not be any problem if not than don't leave your job until and unless your are settled with your things.

Although teaching a bunch of kids who have no intention of learning than I would go for having your own shop don't worry it will be all good and if that what you want to then go for it.

I think that's good. You are able to detach yourself so easily. But its also good for you financially. Push through the Struggle!

Teaching is a respectable profession and giving up the security of a job to venture to something untested is considered brave. I hope you have given it a deep thoughts. I wish you all the best and hope success knocks at your doorstep.

I wish u the very best in starting your own buisness. It is a good thing to be your own boss . Just remember it will take alot of hard work on your part but i always thought being your own boss was worth it.

Well, I left my teaching job for some office jobs, but now, I am doing teaching (again) after my office hours. If you ask me do I like teaching? Yes. I finally realize it. The one that makes me come back to teach is : the students. I like children and I can communicate to them very easily. I like to be surrounded by children. I like to play with them. I can't describe all the reasons why I do like children, because it will be so long and never ends. I think to quit my office job and come back to teach. But what I really wanna do is to publish and sell my own book.. ^^ Or starting one business on my own. Be my own boss! ^^ Good luck for you and for me! ^^

Sweetie, can't you just keep your job for a while, run the shop in the afternoons and see how it go first? Do that till the end of the year and if it is a success, then you can leave your job. Just my point of view. TATA.

basqui Sad that you are leaving the profession of a Teacher. But on the other hand, I feel happy that you want to start off your own business. That's more exciting, challenging and at end, its your baby. But a suggestion - because I too am a teacher - When I started off with my own small business, I too had thought of leaving the profession of Teaching. But soon I realized that teaching had become a passion for me. It really helped me boost myself as I was training and educating people. So I took out some time and devoted it to continue teaching. Teaching does not imply teaching at some institute, school. It also includes teaching at home. So here is what I did - I started teaching at home during the morning and evening hours (time when I was free and available). So I would suggest you to continue with teaching when you are free. And better if you can do it for kids who are on the streets for free - Those who will probably never get a chance to go to school - it would also help you have mental peace and satisfaction.

expect drastic changes my friend it will be scary at first and the adjustment period will be rough but as soon as you settl into your new life as your own boss and not someone's employee... you'll be fine money won't be an assurance and you'll have to work real hard but the rewards will be better than when you were employed

Hi. I just got hired as a contractual teacher in a public school here in our town last July 8. Even before I got my job, I am already thinking to have a business cause I know teaching is hard cause my mother and my other relatives are public school teachers.

well that is good.. it is better to be the boss of yourself but you have to see to it first if your proposed shop will earn.

It is always nerve wracking to start a new career. Just keep on having faith in yourself, work hard and you should do well. Good Luck!

You should do what you love, if teaching is not what you love then its not for you. I am a teacher and I love my job and I wouldn't really even consider doing anything else for a living. Just be sure that you are being smart about starting your new business, and make sure you are going to be making enough money to live on.

Good on for following your heart and doing something that you want to do. It takes a lot of courage to make the change but I am certain you will be so glad you did! In my opinion there is nothing like being your own boss. I think that although it is a lot of hard work to establish a new business it is worth every minute because it is all just for your and your loved ones. I wish you all the luck basqui and I wish you all the very best with this endeavour. Good on you!

Teaching is a very taxing job. It is good to be your own boss, but in choosing a place, you have to find out if there are a lot of people in the area, if you have the right location for that kind of business. It would be good to have a shop near schools and offices.

every one has dream like you do but i see they doit that in once he take a employe to take care businness and they take 2 earning and make another businness again in the make up room and they happy until i tell you this story , why i know it because alot of my friends is teaching like you but they dont has to leave the great job .

i agree i dont like teaching either. i wouldnt want to teach a bunch of classes in a confined area. seems like torcher to me
