QUOTES FROM ANGELA “Teaching is different in different places, but if you have a really strong union, you can do some pretty shitty things and still have a job, with the exception of, actually physically harming children.” “Because the schools are underfunded, teachers have to go into their own pockets. Because the school's underfunded, they don't have enough resources or therapists or special, teachers, specialized teachers, so that falls on you as, the classroom teacher.” “Asserting yourself starts with knowing what it is that you will and won't do, what you want and what you don't want.”   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 | Introduction and Background 01:31 | Angela’s backstory 06:14 | Pricing happiness 08:01 | Teaching career red flags 12:11 | Being more assertive 14:50 | The turning point for Angela 20:15 | What does security even mean 28:36 | Planning your exit 31:17 | Letting your colleagues down 35:22 | Can’t get fired with a union? 41:03 | Action steps for career transition 43:07 | Overcoming one career challenge 47:11 | Closing   RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS Angela Gentile on Social Media:Instagram Chan With A Plan Max Chan on Social Media
