sacraficing my life for the same salary is something i couldn’t do.

as long as my boring job isnt my life, i would never give up 1 million bucks to do something more enjoyable; unless, of course, it paid more.

I would never teach high school, certainly not after giving up a lucrative job. There are too many kids who do not want to be there. If i would teach at all, I would teach at the college level. The students are more motivated to learn.

Good Luck with this decision.

I can tell you that I have had other offers… (no where near that salary or even a tenth of it…) and love this career too much to do anything else. You get:

Satisfaction daily.

frustration daily.

consternation daily.

long term of those three items as well.

I have had student come back:

just to visit

just to keep me informed of their college choices

just to thank me for something I did 4 years ago, that honestly I didn’t know I did.

You will make a difference in a young persons life guaranteed.

ready to give a little back? (cause you will be giving alot!)

I wish I had that sort of a dilemma. 🙂

have fun
