Considering leaving at the end of the school year. But too scared and worried about what I’ll do for work

Hey everyone, firstly I wanna say I’m so glad I found this sub.

I’ve only been teaching for a year and a half. In February of this year, I got a call from the principal at another school a district away from my old school. They needed a new broadcasting teacher and heard through the grapevine that I was a great fit for their team and my evaluations reflected that. They offered me a $6000 annual raise and better benefits, etc etc.

Where I am in life, that is a significant raise and would’ve set me towards my future goals at full speed. In the entire month long process of resigning from my old school, sitting through multiple interviews for the new school, and making it very clear throughout everything that the raise was my biggest motivation for being willing to move to a brand new school two weeks before spring break. They neglected to mention that my net pay would take a $400 cut per paycheck and my raise would not kick in until August 28th of next school year.

This, along with just not enjoying my new school, has left me beyond cold. I’m over teaching, and frankly won’t miss it when I’m gone. My issue now is that I don’t know what to do next. I’m currently (supposed to be) making about $50k annual, and that’s plenty for my lifestyle. I plan on spending the whole summer vacation on the hunt for a new job, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll suffer my way through another year of teaching.

I guess my point in posting this as a TLDR is am I being too risky? I’m moving in with roommates next month and my rent will be cut in half, I’m just worried about what kind of work I can even do, as I started teaching right out of college and didn’t really garner any other experience in my field other than teaching. I graduated with my bachelors of media and broadcasting, and living in Northeast Indiana there’s not a lot of media work. I’ve considered delivery driving jobs like USPS or Amazon as a placeholder until I find something more permanent. At most, I’m just venting because I’m beyond annoyed and scared.
