Ex-teacher, left 10 years go, after 4 years of teaching, post PGDE.
Stumbled into marketing - worked my way up from the bottom to do decently. Be prepared for a pay cut, and be prepared to learn new things. The rest will be up to you - your attitude, abilities and adaptability. I left just before I turned 30. Thought it was late, but imagine if I'd left it to later. (I've seen teachers who left later and could not adapt to life outside of a school.) I also wonder what would have happened if I had listened to all the well meaning folk who tried to persuade me to stay. No regrets at all. |

Thank you for sharing! Glad that you are doing good now! I agree that the longer we stayed in schools, it will be quite challenging to adapt to the life outside school. I am currently exploring positions in Marketing and Branding, is not easy as employers are looking for candidates with relevant experience. |

Ex Teacher who quit 7 years ago
Good things out of MOE are
1) No need to suck cok 2) Don have to face fcuking evil people. 3) You have peace of mind and don get tulan every day 4) You wont get mental problem 5) You do not attend God damn fcuking meetings to make yourselves a clown and to lick the chee bye of the school management Bad things are 1) No one other than civil service pays 16 month salary to suck cok I am an engineer making 7k a month after 7 years, proving my capabilities outside, earning even cent for every honest labor I contribute. A lot MOE teachers as well as civil service can expect to go dancing with Satan in hell. |

Then there are also a lot of pointless meetings, and evil and stupid people around. Unless you are self-employed and being a consultant... I think whether you prove your capabilities or not, in private sector also, it is no guarantee that you will be recognised. |
I was a teacher for 5.5 years, resigned in 2013 and went to another ministry to do training and development. Now i am going to another ministry to do investigation works, starting on mon. My degree is from SIM(unisim). I believe as a local grad u shld have no prob looking for marketing positions in another ministries but try to tailor ur resume such that it highlights ur strengths in this area.
The job hunting may take a while as teachers find it harder to transit but its not impossible, try to look for internal referrals from friends. All the best, i hope you find what you want. |

I think this is what most people in the situation would like to know. |

Now annual income around 9.5k. This is a pathetic salary compared to the leaches of MOE. The MOE folks get 16 months salary with PB, on top of their God Damn "Connect plan" ($$$$). 4 months out of job staying at home after leaving MOE. People keep asking me why I quit teaching in interviews. I move up the ranks among engineers by demonstrating my exceptional talent in solving complicated problems. I have peace of mind because I do not have to work with hell lot of idiots in MOE who is only good in speaking with their asxhole. |
<<<Error in last message>>>
The right one is my current annual income around 95k. |
