[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel all those of you who are advising OP to not giving up her job are biased by her job title. OP’s family clearly doesn’t need her income and she will put her family/marriage under a lot of stress by doing the long distance thing you guys recommended. Will you suggest the same thing if OP is just working a regular corporate job making 190k?[/quote] No it's not about title at all. It's about what the job actually entails: (1) extreme flexibility...other than teaching you are usually 100% in charge of your own time, and busy periods naturally correspond to the school calendar, so great for parents (2) absolute security. You will not get fired even for pretty bad performance...this makes it a good gig for the ups and downs of life, e.g. if there is a crisis, eldercare, etc., (3) nearly impossible to get again once you leave, (4) no clear boss, so great autonomy/choose who one works with. Regular corporate jobs have none of these features.[/quote]
