But I am not sure if it is a good choice to leave my current job.

Having said that the current job pay doesn't really tally with my workload and working experience, but it is still a stable job, at least still can take back those money home.

But this job is taking up too much of my time..


Would like to hear from you all, especially teachers who left the service and join new career , is it worth it to make a career switch?

Thanks!
You are asking for more flexible hours but a pay comparable or with minor reduction when you have nothing relevant to offer to an employer. It is a tall order. Other than tuition, likely soft skill jobs like sales (or property) might fit the bill.

You might also want to try to look for a job where your education domain/background might matter. Think book publishers, IT system providers for education etc where your experience with pedagogy is viewed as an asset.
