Overworked and Doing What I Hate: Why I Quit My Job (Again!)
Channel: Daily Insight
Date: 2019-11-18

Last week, I quit my job… again! I still have another job working in student support, but the one that I quit was starting to drive me insane. It all started back in 2016 when I was offered a job marking for two similar computer science courses. Every year, the course examiners would ask me to do more and more work. So up until recently, I’ve been marking two courses, both undergrads and postgrads, I’ve been running tutorials, I’ve been doing extra marking (a real pain in the butt, mind you), and I’ve been holding down my student-support job. All the while, I’ve been trying to make videos for this YouTube channel and have got the Australian Government on my back saying that my wife is thousands of dollars in debt due to me earning too much money. Something had to give. What did I end up doing? I quit everything. I quit the marking. I quit the tutorials. I refused to do the lectures, and I said I won’t be doing the forums. From 2020, I’ll be going back to two days casual employment a week working one-on-one with students. The computer science course team pushed me too far and wanted me to do too much. And I was sick of it! I had enough! My goal in 2020 is to spend more time with my family and to focus more of my time on this channel. I hope it starts to show, but knowing life (and my severe lack of optimism), something else will pop up and just f**k everything up. Cheers.
