The Reasons Why I Switch My Career from Working in Education Sectors to Working in Creative and Media Sectors

The Salary of Graphic Designer is Higher than The Salary of English Teacher   If I work as a graphic designer in a virtual office, I can earn a salary above the regional minimum wage, ranging from five million to fifteen million rupiah. Furthermore, I can pay for my housing expenses and save for the future. Meanwhile, if I work as an English teacher at a school, I earn below the regional minimum wage, ranging from two hundred thousands to nine hundred thousands rupiah.

However, on the third day of training, my supervisor came and forbade me from using gadgets dur...

The Reasons Why I Changed My Career from Teaching English in the School to Working as a Graphic Designer

 Hello everyone. I would like to tell you about the reasons why I have changed my career from teaching English language in the school to working as a graphic designer. After feeling demotivated at my school, eventually, my leader reassigned me from being an English teacher to being a graphic designer in my school starting in January.  Handling the Teachers' Administrations are More Difficult and Challenging than Designing the Pictures During my first period of teaching at the school, I managed to complete my teaching administration tasks well. Then, I managed to create English exam questions well and successfully in 2023. In fact, I could complete my tasks as a teacher without any assistance from my leader at that time. At that time, I attended school twice a week and completed my duties as a teacher while discussing with my students in 2023. Unfortunately, during my second period of teaching at the school, my leader required me to come to school once a week, and my mood began...
