This is my story about quitting after 18 years of teaching and why it was one of the best decisions of my life. I also offer a bit of advice for other teachers out there.

This is probably my 20th time trying to do this video. I'm not sure if I'll ever find the right words, so I'm just going to post this one.

My point is that if you do decide to quit, I think opportunities exist for you.

This video was produced by Jerred Z (That's me!). Becoming a photographer and photography teacher has been a transformative and positive aspect of my life, and I truly want more people to experience the world in the way I’ve learned to.

Every day is more beautiful, no matter where I am, because of photography.

Many of the photos you see me use are edited with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. I sometimes use my own custom presets, skies and textures in them, and I give some of my best away in my Newsletter! To sign up and get the free stuff, go here: https://jerredz.com/newsletter/
