About this episode
A year ago, Matt S. was burned out from teaching and even started Googling jobs at Bunnings because he needed a mental break from being a teacher. He knew he could go back to university and retrain for four years, but with a family and a mortgage to deal with, he didn't want to pay $80,000 for an undergraduate degree. And then be starting back at the bottom of the pay scale. Fast forward 12 months, not only has he discovered the right alternative career for teachers but he has earned an extra $32,000 from it. Today, you'll hear about the side hustle for teachers that is helping him transitioning from the education system to start his own small business from home, even though he has never owned a business.
Tune in to hear:
- Taking a break from teaching
- Transitioning out of education
