re: Would quitting teaching job ruin career?

Recently moved and took a job teaching high school. It's my fourth year teaching, but this is an awful place. However, I basically committed my college education to this career. I am currently working on my doctorate, but am completely depressed with this teaching gig. I want to teach college level and do research. Would quitting this job destroy that chance ?

I have a good part-time that pays about $18k. Another decent part- time job and I'm making decent money. I just am afraid quitting would basically undo the degree I'm pursuing.

I am sort of in the same but opposite boat.

Why would you do something you don't want to do?

You only have one life!
