I hear all of your pros and cons. I have to say that if you think primary teaching will offer a 'change of gears', I suggest you haven't spent much time teaching 26 plus young students all day every day! Instead of preparing lessons for two or so subjects, you get to prepare lessons for every subject. Yay!
Spoiler alert, primary teaching includes all of the cons you listed. It only appears to be the 'easy option' to those that have never done it.
I don't think teaching (imo) is worth the personal toll. As B12 suggests, look at university jobs or even consider doing your TAE and teaching at Tafe. Look after yourself and know that there are other options that don't cost you your sanity and your personal life.
Good luck to you x

I have lots of friends and family interstate.
R U OK day hit me like a tonne of bricks. Why? Because the silence from my friends and family during this entire second lock down has been deafening. R U OK day put a big red line under the fact.
It has been both hurtful and incredibly eye opening.
I reach out to others and show kindness and support frequently. My 'bucket' is now empty and I feel tired and depleted from this whole experience.
