10 Fears When Quitting My Job for a New Job

I was so scared to quit my job but I did it and they were so gracious.

1. What if the other job falls through?

Some paperwork comes back and they so oh we can't hire you.

2. What if I disappoint the bosses that I respect at my old job?

I still respect my old bosses. What if I disappoint them?

3. What do I say?

I just said "So I got a job offer and I took it"... there's really no other way to say things.

4. What if my old students look for me and I am not there?

Kindergartners are just as scared as preschoolers. What if they look for me for reassurance?

5. What if they can't find a replacement?

It's hard to find replacements especially because it's the lowest paid gig in town for a teacher.

6. What if I am not as close with my friends from my old job?

I stopped by the office 5 times a day to talk to one of my best friends. What if we don't talk as much?

7. What if I suck at this new job?

These kids might think I am just weird.

8. What if the work is not worth the money?

This is going to be challenging. What if the pay increase isn't worth it?

9. What if I regret the decision?

I don't want to compare my old job to my new job and say "oh man I made a mistake"

10. What if I am too soft for the job?

I have learned to become more aggressive and have higher expectations for my students but what if I am not hard enough.
