I am a junior engineer in Railway, although the job is well paid and somewhat secure, but I don't feel belonged to this job. I have lost all interest in the work. I don't like office work pressure. I am working only because of family pressure. I have plan to be freelance teacher for 12th class physics in which I have interest. My parents are not dependent on me. My father is a retired teacher and have his own pension and savings. Is it a wise decision to quit the government job for my happiness?

Ans: Hi Anonymous,
I would suggest not leaving your job immediately. Instead, consider experimenting with your freelance physics classes from class 9 to class 12, this could be quite lucrative if you are a good teacher and have a strong knowledge of physics. Once you receive positive feedback on your teaching style from the market, you can think about leaving your job and pursuing this full-time. Please feel free to connect with me and message me on LinkedIn—I’d be happy to provide further insights.
