[quote=Anonymous]I think the grass is often greener on the other side of the fence. I'm a special ed teacher. There's a lot to be jealous about in my profession. I get to laugh with my every day. It's never boring. I teach summer school, but still get 4 weeks off. And, I have to admit that snow days rock. But that doesn't mean I don't also sometimes feel jealous of people with other careers. I envy the houses some of my college classmates can afford. I envy my friends who have enough flexibility at work to do things like take calls from their pediatrician in private during the work day, or slip out for an hour to see the Halloween parade. When my kid had serious medical issues, I really envied parents who had annual leave they could use at will. The reality is that I have a job that has its perks, and its downsides, as do most of the well educated people I know. [/quote]
