I have never considered teaching, and nor have I ever wanted to. But, I will say, if you’re not feeling it anymore with your course, then don’t push yourself any more into doing it; you’ll resent it and your brain will use it against you. You already seem really burnt out by the course, and people can’t push through burn out without a break.
Drop out or defer (if you can), and take a mental health break, go for more walks (if you can), get in touch with your hobbies and interests, friends even or a club. Then, look through the list of gov funded/free TAFE courses and see if any pique your interest. If you like building relationships with and helping young people, you could look into youth services courses instead. But don’t get ahead of yourself, look after your present self.
Also,
Said by someone who tried to push through burn out in a call centre and ended up in the ER twice. Also a partner to someone who tried to do the same.
I am ready to become even more of a piece of scum in society as I don’t have anything valuable to offer.
Nope nah no way. This line of thought isn’t going to help you, I promise. You DO have something valuable to offer to society, because you are human; this particular job just doesn’t align with you in the way you thought and THAT’S OKAY!!! It is so okay, it is normal. You wouldn’t be a scum of society by getting on centrestink or anything, you just need a break to figure out what does align to your values!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this Spud. I feel like maybe I was being a bit dramatic, and perhaps I should do more teaching to really figure it out.
But I have to have a long hard think when I’ve calmed down a bit more.
Thank you again. I really appreciate it 🥰
Also I met an animal technician the other day, and thought of you. I know you’d be awesome at it, if that’s the path you choose to go down.
That would be good, to wait until you’re calm and clear headed! No making decisions in a heightened state of emotion 💜💜
Aw!!! That’s so cool! Animal techs have such a rewarding and difficult job, lots of euths and recording animals that aren’t well, but it’s so very rewarding to advocate for their welfare!!
