[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to add.....

[b]Currently, I work (teach) about 25 hours a week, spend approximately 10 hours in meetings, duty time, or planning, and enjoy summer breaks and holidays off. I don't typically bring work home, but despite these advantages, the job remains physically and mentally demanding, leaving me exhausted most days and weeks. [/b]

Lastly, another area I would need to consider is how a transition may impact my pension/retirement planning.[/quote]

My impression is that you would be overwhelmed & crushed by any private sector job that pays in the $125,000 to $150,000 range if you think that your current cushy vacationesque-type position is physically and mentally demanding.[/quote]

+1.  Former teacher here, current corporate lawyer, and teaching was by far THE easiest job I've ever had - if you have any sense of time management, you can get most of your shit done during class (just like I did in high school!) and the students will love that you give them 15 min at the end of class to chill since the material's been taught.  Just so you know I have perspective, the hardest job was waitressing.[/quote]
