Roughly a decade after leaving the classroom, they've each built different careers around parts of teaching they still value.\n\nIn this episode of The Lane Switch Podcast, Jess and David share how teaching skills transferred into corporate roles, why leaving doesn't mean abandoning the parts of education you love, and how teachers can start identifying what they actually want from their next career."}
