[quote=Anonymous]Having a pension in retirement (early) is huge. You will not replicate that in the private sector. Also, your SO likely works less bc they have been at their job for awhile and can do things efficiently (as you do with teaching). Or your SO generates enough revenue or is senior enough to be judged not on hours but on performance. If you transition to a new career, there will be a learning curve (despite all of your impressive skills) and you will have to work more than 2-3 hours a day. Especially if you convince an entity to start you at $130K. I do not think your starting salary will be anywhere near that in the non-profit world and if it is, you will be trading the stress you have now for other stresses. You have a good situation that many people envy. If you can’t sustain it, you can’t but I’m not sure the grass will be greener in a new field. Have you looked into asking a professional for ways to help you manage the stress? [/quote]
