Burnout is no longer something only healthcare workers experience. In 2025–2026, burnout has spread across every industry in Canada — retail, office work, customer service, logistics, and even remote positions.

People aren’t just tired from work.
They’re tired from working without progress.

If you’ve felt unmotivated, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck, you’re not alone. Career burnout is now recognized as a major cause of emotional stress — and one of the biggest reasons adults return to school.

Signs You’re Experiencing Career Burnout

• You dread going to work
  
• You feel unappreciated or underpaid
  
• You’re emotionally checked out
  
• Your job offers no growth
  
• You feel stuck but unsure where to go
  
• You fantasize about a different career
  
• You’ve lost your sense of purpose
  
  

Burnout is not weakness — it’s a signal that something in your career needs to change.

How Education Helps You Recover

1. It Creates a Sense of Forward Movement
   Burnout thrives in stagnancy. Taking classes, learning new skills, and planning a new path restores hope and momentum.
2. It Builds Confidence and Self-Worth
   Adult learners rediscover strengths they forgot they had.
3. It Opens Doors to Healthier Work Environments
   Toxic workplaces lose power when you’re qualified to leave.
4. It Provides Structure, Support, and Purpose
   Studying at ABC Access College gives adults a community, mentors, and a roadmap.
5. It Leads to Jobs That Align With Your Values
   Many adults burn out because their job misaligns with their strengths and personality. Training allows you to pivot into meaningful, stable work.
