writes:So this is a little different to my normal questions.I am 28 and currently work as an assistant teacher, I have been working as this for 2 years.I have pushed to better myself all my life but have come across barriers due to finances, limitations by exs/ family and so on, but in the last year I have been pushing my employer to try and help me get my teachers qualifications so I can progress. I am getting married in just over a year and am looking to try to conceive not long after I get married as I feel for my relationship and age this is the right time. However with this decision I have found my career becoming more and more important, I want to be able to provide for my children properly, have a life long career and be a mother my children can look up to.I am currently on summer leave, and have found as it gets closer to returning to work I have become more and more anxious and found myself not wanting to return. Although my employer have allowed me to take some classes to allow me to get the experience needed to be a teacher, they haven't massively supported me with this process, leaving me to basically teach myself and feeling quite abandoned. Above this they hired someone new without advertising for a post that would have been better for me to advance, better experience and better money... when I queried this they lied about it.I have put a lot of extra work into this job, and have definitely put my heart and soul into it, and I started off with a lot of enthusiasm, but as things have come out and I have been 'left to it' my enthusiasm has massively waned, and I am not sure if I should continue as I dont feel like my employer is going to deliver on the training... if they dont I would have been working at a much lower wage than I could earn elsewhere for 2/3 years for no reason...The only reason I have been happy to do this so far is because of the potential for further training, and a better life... I have found myself looking for jobs....My question is, do people think I am right to look for another job, or am I just panicking because other areas of my life are advancing quickly and I feel like my job doesn't match up. (I can't do my training any other way as it is not financially viable)

Why not look for teaching assistant posts at other schools - schools that might be a little bit more proactive in their approach to mentorships and training?

 You are right to look for another job. Teaching isn't for everyone. It's demanding and can suck you dry. Changing jobs isn't failing.
