I’m currently working in finance but have a postgraduate degree from a good university in history and when thinking how I want to use that I keep coming back to teaching (secondary school). I think it’s what I’ve wanted to do for a long time now but have been too anxious to pursue it. I feel stuck at my current job because taking on anything more demanding than basic independent administrative tasks will lead to plenty of situations which I feel my social anxiety will make me unqualified for. I’m a reasonably intelligent and well spoken guy but when my SA kicks in I feel incapable of functioning. I’m mid 20s and believe I need to make a move soon for fear of missing out but the plunge terrifies me. I’ve also avoided seeking help from my GP but feel like this is my first move to start becoming who I want to be. Do any teachers here have any advice?
