From temporary contract to temporary SAHM not knowing what to try to transition to next
So yeah. It’s tough to get a permanent contract right now in districts in Southern California and I’ve been temporary at two districts in the last four years. I didn’t even bother to apply to any districts for the 25-26 SY because I had my son in July 2025.
Fast forward now and I really don’t want to go back to the classroom. I just don’t know where to go from here. I’m 37 and have been in education for the last 12 years but I honestly just need a job that pays 60-70k with no work to take home. We are barely staying afloat with my husband’s salary.
Is going to career fairs worth it? Employment agencies? Anyone in here with a situation like mine?
