[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As you think about switching, remember that you will likely be giving up that your summer break and a week off a Christmas and need before/aftercare. Parents who don't teach have to juggle a school calendar. Summer camps. Beforecare, aftercare. Random days off. Explaining to the boss that no you can't do a call at 5pm because aftercare closes at 6pm and you live an hour away from work (in the Before Times). It is quite a PITA. [/quote] I don’t know a single teacher who doesn’t need before and/or after school care unless they have a partner with a more flexible schedule. [/quote] Yeah but a real corporate job, you need more than before care and after care especially if you are a single parent. Most after cafes close at 6 or 6:30 which means reliably leaving by 5:30 factoring in commute, and that’s not common in corporate positions. It’s why so many are forced to keep a nanny even after their kids are in school. [/quote]
