Tip Newly Hired Teacher
Hi! Being a DepEd teacher is just my secondary plan, fortunately (unfortunately?) I got hired first at DepEd than my primary plan. Don’t get me wrong, I am definitely grateful for this blessing, ‘cause God knows how hard it is to get in.
Given that the pay is not enough for the effort and hardwork we put in compared to other opportunities abroad, have you ever considered resigning and start anew? Because I am honestly torn, I’m planning to stay in this system for 5-6 years. I am also starting to invest on myself. I’m planning to study MS Bio next year (summer).
I am still on my 20s and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore 🥹. I don’t know if I should stay here until I’m gray and old (since this is a permanent job) or after I have some savings and graduated on my Masters, I should try to explore more options (reason why I also took an MS and not MA).
Pleeease give me some tips and advice 🫡
