Should I Leave My $250K Job Now? Economic Storm Coming! 😰

I'm absolutely torn and losing sleep over this decision! My husband and I (both in our early 50s) have been planning my career transition for months. I currently make $250K, but my dream is to shift to teaching at our local community college for $80K starting this fall. We're financially secure with solid savings and investments, but with all the talk about incoming tariffs and economic changes, I'm second-guessing everything. Should I stick with my high-paying corporate job until things settle down, or follow my heart and make the leap to education? The plan was to approach my boss about transitioning to part-time consulting first, then gradually move to teaching. But now I'm wondering if it's crazy to take such a massive pay cut when everyone's predicting economic turbulence ahead. I feel like I'm at a crossroads and really need some perspective from people who've faced similar decisions. What would you do? 🤔 #CareerTransition #WorkplaceDecisions #TeachingCareer #JobCareer
