I am currently 32 years old and have been working in the banking, accounting and finance industry since I graduated from university. I am looking to do a career switch but need advice. Can you help?

I have been working as an auditor and accountant since I graduated. This is all I've known but I am thinking of changing my job into a different industry to work as a school teacher. Before I can become a MOE-certified teacher, I need to first go through the training course. That also means taking time to study and prepare to be a teacher. I'm almost in my mid-30s and I need to financially support my family as well. My starting pay as a teacher will not be as high as my current job in a bank.

I think you gotta ask yourself if your job is important part of your identity. If you wish to make a difference to young minds through your job, then you should make the switch now. As you get more experience in teaching, you will probably be entrusted with leadership positions and earn the same amount of money that you garnered in your previous life

U definitely need savings first because ceritfication as a moe teacher may take a year or two.

starting pay as teacher not as high - is ur family ok with this? are u ok with this? u only have 1 life so i would say pursue what u want but also be reasonable with urself and ur family.
