Amid covid-19 burnout and teaching monotony, I pivot to video editing for quality over quantity. Yuval Harari's 21 lessons on reinvention and 2050 resilience guide my move.
Burnout pushed me to change careers after relocating to Canada; I explored Manitoba teaching certification, priced about $2,000, then chose video editing and cooking for creativity, remote work, learning.

Use what you have to practice basic video editing techniques, such as cutting, transitions, importing and exporting, and consider renting gear to test setups before buying.
Practice everywhere by using favorite footage, color grade with Davinci Resolve, and seek constructive feedback to improve transitions, lighting, and sound while studying other editors' routines.
Weigh the option of one full-time job versus two part-time roles by salary, family responsibilities, and burnout risk; examples compare ESL teaching and video editing incomes.
