Hi friends,
First I just want to say that I enjoy reading so many wonderful posts on this board. It’s refreshing to see people driven for the simple things in life.
A small background on me: I just turned 30, I have my degree in Special Education. Before last month, I always worked educational jobs that hired me as an independent work from home contractor. Basically, they gave me tasks, I completed them, and I turned my computer off around 4 and was done.
Well last month, I got offered a position to a virtual special education teacher and literally tonight I just couldn’t stop crying to my husband. I have never, in my whole entire life, felt this type of stress of mental exhaustion.
The school has given me a case load of 47 students, all with IEPs that need to be tracked with data and progress every two weeks.
I hate it. I feel so bad for saying this but I literally hate it.
They say my hours are 8:00-4:00 AM but I have been having to work every night when we watch tv (8-9:30pm) and when I am not working on things, my mind is constantly going.
I have always valued family over any job that I’ve taken. I thought that by taking this, with the pay they offered (46,000), it would make our lives less stressful not being so tight with money.
Well, the complete opposite happened. I’m stressed and feel like I’m drowning in work tasks.
I want to quit and find a job that can give us $500-1,000 a month. Is that asking too much?
Any advice?
