[quote=Anonymous]Hobby job? No. 
Are the summers worth it? Not exactly (though they are amazing).  I'd much prefer a 4 week summer with the other weeks spread out over the year.

As for pay, I make 95k at a private school after leaving two decades in public schools.  I'll get a small pension from public when I retire, social security, and my private offers a nice matching option on our 403b accounts or whatever they're called, on top of the IRA I have. My husband has 2 masters and makes 125k in his public school.  He still has at least ten more years, so that'll increase at least another 25k by then, along with a significant pension, social security and his IRA.  And we both will have retired teachers health care subsidized health insurance.  We didn't make a lot starting out, but finally we feel good about where we are financially.  We do still both work extra duties for additional pay and that helps paying for college.  All that said, my husband's job is a lot easier than mine.  I've had a lot of really awful years where I have regretted my career choice, stopped sleeping due to anxiety, etc.  So, hobby job, no.[/quote]
