text: what would you do if you were me? i work in a school and have built great relationships with staff and children. however im only 25 and think that i need more professional development. my job is great, i love the kids. but i have been offered a new job doing similar workwhich will allow me to gain further experience. the money is better too. the kids and staff dont want me to leave and its breaking my heart. what do i do? that's great that you developed a great relationship with the students, that just shows your great at what you do. but if a better opportunity if is offered you should take it. and it's similar in what you do. so you're right it will allow you to gain further experience. you can always visit the staff and children. i think you should take that opportunity and see what else is out there for you! then you can build a relationship with the new staff and children. i definately think you should give it a try. you might just love it
