[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Realtors, instructional design, instructional technology, Edward Jones financial advisor, interior decorator; owner of a lawn service company. The teachers who became Realtors, a decorator and owned the lawn company all did these jobs during the summer to make extra money anyhow, so at some point it stopped being financially worth it to teach.

Some of the older teachers I knew who couldn't take it anymore became library assistants: they took pay cuts, but didn't have to be in the classroom any more and could still officially be in the state retirement system.[/quote]

How did they afford the pay cut? DW and I are both teachers and we wouldn’t be able to afford one of us becoming an assistant.[/quote]

They basically cut expenses down to the bone, and only one person became an assistant. This was not in the DC area, and both their kids were already out of the house. [/quote]

I’m currently looking for other jobs in VRS. I can’t do this job for many more years and not sure I can go back next year. There are a lot of other jobs in VRS that can give me years that are not teaching. DH is not a teacher. That’s how we can afford it. At some point the stress isn’t worth the salary. [/quote]
