Teacher considers a professional change

Q: I might be at a crossroads in my life and career, or I might just be tired. The pandemic has really taken a toll on my energy in the classroom and my love of teaching. I hear about so many people leaving their jobs and many teachers who are getting out of education. Maybe I should be one of them? I have other interests, but I do not know exactly what other kind of work I would like to do. I never saw myself being a teacher forever, but I also never planned to make a change this soon. And what if this is just the pandemic talking? What if I’m back to normal in a year or two? I also read about people who have quit their jobs and regretted it. How do I go about making this decision? I need to let my school know soon if I plan to return.
