I don't think there is a simple, one-size-fits all answer to this question. What one person loves, another will hate, just as there are some who seem to love MQ. I wouldn't even quit MQ until I had another job in line. I can only suggest check archives and keep looking and keep applying. You might have to go through a couple of companies until you find the one for you. I would always be working one job, as I looked for another. I would work both until you are sure you want to drop one. Check other message boards, try googling for MT jobs. You just need to do your homework and keep looking til you find the job for you.

school professionals are not always "perfect"
In my own experience, my daughter was upset all the time, crying, acting out, etc. I was receiving phone calls quite often, but I knew my daughter. She was in th 4th grade already. I met with teacher it was only about 2 months into the school year. It was actually the teacher my daughter had, who was new to the area and the district and seem very timid. I changed her to a teacher who I knew from before with her brothers and was outgoing, gave lots of praise to all the children and really interested in the kids. My daughter was back to herself..
I have also had problems with the principals, and one was a psychologist. They will try to "bully" you, so you have to stand up for your children. I even had them take off a suspension on her record because it was unfair, as I had many times spoke with the principal about some girls teasing my daughter and hitting her many times and my daughter never did anything and finally was tired of it and hit back and she was suspended. All the other times the other girls never were suspended but they were just talk to. The principal never took the time to speak to the kids before this happened. She just thought my child had issues, but in the end I showed her that my child did not have issues.
Anyway, my older son has ADHD, so it took a teacher who was patient, caring, and who expand the mind of the children not just classify the children with learning disabilities as "worthless" and put them aside.
I have walked into class without notice to see what is going on; I have stayed to help out for awhile.
If you do not get anywhere with the school officials, speak with the superintendent; go up the ladder, make waves. Make sure to document everything, person you spoke to, time, date, etc. Believe me this will help enormously.
We have to be there for our children. We also need to remember they are imperfect, they will also make mistakes and they do need to take the consequences of their actions.
