Changing careers from a teacher to an office clerk, what do you think?
Asked by aivi
Do office clerks have less stress and more stable working hours? I dont like taking work home anymore. Its not required, but I have to in order to prep for the next day's lesson. I know as an office clerk, I have to deal with annoying coworkers, but at least I can try to reason with them or complain to management. With kids, I have to do some behavior management techniques which may take months to see some progress, plus I feel incompetent when my principal comes by to observe at a bad time when my kids arent settled. Are office clerks graded or critiqued every few months? I like being creative, are there jobs that I will be good at , but dont have a lot of stress? How about a librarian or a school clerk? Office clerk, typist clerk. Ahh! I forgot that I wont get any free summers anymore if I change jobs. But it just doesnt interest me anymore to do the work and give as much effort as I did. Librarian jobs seems cool still. I get to be around books and can get the scoop on the newest bestseller.

Best Answer:
Depends where you are talking about being a clerk at . Some have lots of stress and only 2 weeks vacation if that . Their pay is low and are the first ones laid off when a company "needs to reduce costs". A teacher needs a college degree , a clerk needs a high school degree so figure on a drop in pay along with the drop in vacation . Maybe another Plan B ? >

Well it sounds like you're ready for a career change.....WHICH IS GOOD, but also has it's bad points. HOWEVER, it doesn't mean you still can't tutor students on the side. Librarian honestly SOUNDS BOARING........ But if you still want to work with kids,,, try a day care setting
