[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher, and I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I'd stayed in my grad school job.

When I was in grad school, I had a part time job in the Financial Aid office of the university.  The people who worked there full time had good salaries, and it was such a relaxed work environment compared to teaching: no work to take home!  I was offered a full time job, but didn't take it because I got my first teaching post, but I still wonder...  A girl who had started part time as a student, like me, is now working for American Student Assistance, traveling a little for work, and makes a lot more than I make.

I think a cozy job in university admin somewhere would be lovely.  Good holidays, good insurance, great free gym facilities, etc.[/quote]

Burnt out fourth year PP here. Maybe I will look into this. Also at a title 1 school, just switched schools from my first where I was for three years. I am so tired of admin requiring things they are contractually not allowed to stipulate. Assigning reading over thanksgiving break when I am already bringing home tons of work from my own classes. I am exhausted and crying now about going back tomorrow. I need to get a grip. I am just so frustrated [/quote] NP here. I totally understand. The state of public education makes me so sad. You might need to take a salary cut and go to a private school or take a leave of absence to figure out what's next. [/quote]
