[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OP, what did you decide ?[/quote]

I haven't!  I have until mid-next week to do so and am very stressed out.  One day I flip one way and the next I flip the other.  In terms of the need/want analysis- I work in public service so could handle the lower pay and then loan forgiveness in another 8 years.  OTOH, the higher pay would enable me to pay the loans off myself completely in about 6-8 years.  I miss my kids.  [/quote]

Cat in the cradle here .

Listen to your heart. I turned down my opportunity recently and I've had moments of "oh fuck what have I done? I should have gone", but overwhelmingly the thing that sticks in my mind is what I did with my kids this week. I took them sledding, I took one to a friends house for a play date, I ducked out of work today a little early and had a date night, and tomorrow I'm heading to the mountains. Know way could I have done these things without the flex I now have. So what if my family will be in the top 5% of incomes instead of in the top 1%? So be it.[/quote]
