[quote=Anonymous][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]

So either way in 8 years you are debt-free. right?  And if you take this job, that [u]may [/u]happen a year or two earlier, but [u]will [/u]cost you and your family significantly. So the difference between the options is 0-2 years of being in debt, they both share 6 years of indebtedness, and they very greatly on Q of L.

There must be other factors, but the debt does not sound like enough reason. pp's point about it not being fuck you money is a great one.[/quote]

Based on your own analysis, I'd take the lower paying job.  Debt isn't really a factor here.  You miss your kids, and no amount of money will make that go away.  You can keep your eyes open for something else.

For myself, I chose less money for more family time, even with student loan debt.  No regrets.  [/quote]
