I want to leave my job, but I probably won't

The thought has been on my mind for the past few days. As I stared at my screen at work, I wonder if this is for me. It could be the nagging feeling of not being able to complete my PhD doing the talking, or it could be me hitting my quarter life crisis. The thought that was on my mind is if I should leave my government job. 

I have been a  teacher all my working life. I was sponsored by the government to study twice and was given a great job that I love. I have nothing to complain about, really. Maybe the bureaucracy and the mountain of paperwork, but aside from that, I have been blessed. So you must be wondering why I would even consider leaving my job. 

### **I Want To Revolutionize Education**

I think the current way of focusing on education lacks foresight. I believe that the exam oriented system would eventually be changed. Some powers that be recognize this. However, instead of adapting the system to fit the students, they are trying to adapt the students to fit the system. Namely, they try to teach critical thinking and problem solving using the same drilling techniques as before. 

However, I believe that games and self-learning is the future. I want to teach students using games that are RPG-like. The games where each student is a character with health points and items. I believe that such games can be tailored to the students’ needs and even, exams. 

I also would love to spend more time with the students. I understand that documentation and paperwork is important but too much of it just takes time away from mentoring and teaching and I think that is sad. So in order for this to happen, I need to move away from my job and start something of my own. This can be in the form of an online class or even a center. But alas, as the title suggests, I'll probably never leave. 

### **But I May Never Leave**

There are many reasons why I would never leave. One of them is money as I'm bonded by contract for at least another 6 more years. Leaving would mean breaking the contract. Furthermore, I'm a father of two and children ain't cheap. It just feels rather irresponsible to leave a job to pursue something that I like, but may not pay as well as my old job. 

As such, I probably would be staying back. It's not exactly a bad deal unless Steem heads to the double digits or I somehow get an angel investor to help. Also, I would like to thank you for hearing me rant. Hopefully some of you may have some words of wisdom for me. Whatever it may be, I do look forward to your comments.

I think that everyone has to deal with teaching in some capacity. Parents teach their children and so on. Therefore, if teaching is your passion, it'll always be with you no matter if you decide to change your path.

Even here in steemit, like you said, if it steem recover its value again, you can focus here. With every post, those who are involve in teaching can enlighten minds with their knowledge through articles.
