A 22-year old British teacher recently made headlines for deciding to quit his job in England and go to Greece to work at a luxurious holiday resort, according to the following article by greekreporter.com.
Eddie Ledsham became viral when he posted online a short video of himself, clarifying why he was unhappy with his previous job and why he took the bold decision to resign.
“This job was damaging my emotional and psychological wellbeing. I had 7 lessons a day, 5 days a week. It was an awful schedule” he noted on his personal Facebook account.
“I studied in university for three years, but I think we should have been given more on-the-job experience during the course of the degree, as it didn’t at all prepare me for it” he continued.
In the short video clip Ledsham explained that he found the working conditions very hard and he realised with dissappointement that his job as a teacher was not about “passing on knowledge to children, but rather teaching them how to pass tests.”
He added that every day he would have to return home from work at 6:30 pm and he felt that he was always in a bad psychological state, because he was working “unrealistic hours” and was constantly asked to attain “unrealistic targets” from his superior teachers.
