I grew up in Dallas-Fort Worth and started my first teaching job in Brooklyn when I was 24. AdvertisementI resigned from teaching and took a corporate job as a learning and development consultant. I found a fully remote corporate job at a learning and development consultancy firm that helps other companies with learning initiatives like training. I realized I much preferred teaching students over training adultsI started my new job in August 2022. I've chosen something I enjoy over long-term financial successWhen I decided to accept the teaching job, finances were probably my biggest concern, but I feel that with what I'm making now as a teacher, I'm able to live just fine.
