That's encouraging, thank you.Sun_Addict said:@Alchemilla I've been in the Civil Service for just over 21 years and love my job. I'm a Private Office PA and more or less left to my own devices with no one breathing down my neck, which is what I love about it. Once you're in it's relatively easy to move around until you find something that suits you. We have a lot of ex teachers in our department.

I've taken a big old pay cut but CS don't have the 9% pension contributions that teaching does so take home is higher for the same gross salary.Scottiedog_3 said:
Why is that do you think? Does the Civil Service pay better? Most teachers in Scotland are getting between £30 00 to £45 000. Is there a lack of permanent teaching positions? This doesn't seem to be happening in Scotland. How strange !Sun_Addict said:. We have a lot of ex teachers in our department.3 -
I again cannot get the quote thing to work.
teachers leave in the UK cos it is relentless and rubbish. Pay portability has gone and older experienced teachers leave, new teachers leave and you are left with a bunch of inexperienced people running schools who don't know what they are doing and a smattering of half broken clueless or jaded teachers. Everyone I trained with has left, my other friends have left. I have two teacher friends still in the job who basically confess after a few beers they hate it. A lot of time the children are vile - tho I have to be honest I do love my kids, they are hilarious and can be very kind. Mine are not vile at all. Hence staying so far. For me management or lack there of is the problem. The same thing keeps happening......some one new comes along and everything done NOW. and you do it, cos it is pretty much the same as what the previous knobs wanted, just in a different table or font!! but it never ends and it is never right and always needs improving. Always. No matter what. And in the end that feeling of nothing being finished, or good enough eats away at you.
lots go to the civil service but I got the impression it was for much lower paid jobs.

I feel like i need a hug......until my ribs go back in the right place. I am really anxious and tired. Yesterday was good but today for whatever reason was hard at work. Really hard and disappointing. I have a tonne of work to do. Need to raise my game a bit really and it is stressing me out. my car constantly needs deicing, it is cold and everything seems like a struggle tonight. I can't really tell you why. I guess I am tired. worried about a lot of things. Upset with a so called friend.
It is still two weeks till pay day.Nevertheless she persisted.2 -
Laughed a fair bit at Graham Norton.
Finally feel a bit relaxed.Nevertheless she persisted.3 -
Sending virtual hugs x2

More virtual hugs from me @Buffythedebtslayer Start planning your escape now. I left it too late and was invalided out. Teachers are good at ALL sorts of things. I did EFL for a while - much more fun and the students are better behaved.
I ran small offices. I temped until I found people and work I liked. Ultimately, I ended up as a full-time carer, which was the worst job of all.
Start your escape committee now.Credit card One :£926.60( Oct 21 )(Nov 21 vet bill disaster), £999(Jan 22), £974(Feb 22)
Credit Card Fl :£739.26 (Oct 21)£763 (Nov 21) , £590(Jan 22), £298(Feb 22)
Savings target C.U. £1000(£410 Oct 21)(£610 Nov 21)
Savings target Bank £500 (£10 Oct 21) (£50 Nov 21)(£60 Jan 22)(£80 Feb 22)
Credit Union loan paid off. Now for the funeral plan...2 -

I always thought I would teach until 60. I'm leaving at 50 and I'll be taking my pension at 55.
It is worth watching The Pit Pony video by Sharon Cawley on the tube of U.4
