[quote=Anonymous]A government job will have lower stress OP, but possibly a lower salary and you will be expected to work 40 hours a week. Have you thought about patent examining? My dh is super happy he switched to govt from academia, but he was a tenured teaching faculty member at a smaller college with absolutely no grading help. Days were spent teaching and dealing with students and nights were spent grading. He makes twice as much as a fed and works fewer hours, only 40-50 a week. It sounds like you already make more than average fed, even with a PhD OP. [/quote]
