I am lecturer

What else can I do with my skills as a lecturer?

Are you working on a temporary contract? Does a permanent position seem out of reach? If continuing as a university lecturer isn’t possible, what other paths can you take?
You may have more options than you think. Right now, opportunities within academia may be limited—but outside the university, your teaching skills are highly valuable.
What else inspires you? Don’t wait passively—take a proactive step toward your future.
