[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]70K a year to be a principal is not worth it.  Most principals make at least 2x that amount.  
Part of being in education, especially being in admin, means your evenings are often not your own.  However the fact that he's doing all that coaching and not making a shit ton more money makes me wonder if he's actually coaching.  Is it possible he's having an affair?  The only way he's making that much money working that many hours is if he's at a parochial schools which are known for taking total advantage of people, even more so than public schools.  
Tell your husband to a) prioritize your family and or b) get a job in a real school.  He could make at least 120K working full time as a teacher doing all that additional coaching in any public school system.[/quote]

He's not a principal.

If he transferred to public, given that he's not a principal, the most he'd make, unless he has more than 1 advanced degree, is about $68K.  There's no way that coaching 1 sport (he's not coaching 1 sport a season, just one sport in all), and 1 intramural, would pay him $52K.  This isn't Friday Night Lights.  Coaches make a few thousand a season.

And BTW, private schools are "real schools".  [/quote]
