[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I was curious because there was a person who announced their retirement in the FCPS system and my spouse and I were trying to figure out why they would retire.  They are great with kids, they have so much energy and we like them a lot.  The only thing that we could think of is that they are making a pretty healthy salary after being in the school system for several decades which would translate into a nice pension.

Curiosity got the best of me.

I know, I know, MYOB.

Salaries won’t help. This is my 22nd year teaching and I really enjoy it. I like working with the students and genuinely enjoy speaking with most parents. I’ve taught different subjects over the years and don’t feel like I’m in a rut. I’m going to training this summer to teach a new course next year and am excited for the challenge.

BUT I am counting the years until I hit 30 and retire. It has nothing to do with not loving my job since I do. You have no idea what my spouse does for a living and how much we love to travel. We may move or I may retire, tutor and have the flexibility to go with him on his trips if he’s still working. I have no idea where my children will be living then and maybe I will travel to visit them. I love my job but have a life outside of work and look at retirement as a new beginning. [/quote]

Curious what grade and subject do you teach? [/quote]
