This one is for those that do their best for kids every day in one of the most thankless jobs that exist, teachers! While sharing our journey from education to tech through various social media platforms,  we've been contacted by several other teachers who are thinking about making the transition. This episode is for any educator who has contemplated a career in tech or any educator thinking about a career change of any sort. 

We know how difficult it is to switch careers as former teachers ourselves. We hope this episode helps those who have wondered what the change would look like and what they could do to prepare, and we even share tips on landing your first job!
