As I’ve discussed a little bit year I just graduated from UConn with my MA in Education Leadership and have been pursuing school administration opportunities this summer.
After about 15 rejections I was finally offered a position!
…50 minutes away
…for $15k less than my teacher pay for the upcoming year
Things to consider…
-Wife and I just bought a house so relocation is not in the cards.
-House was top of budget and cutting the pay that much would make things very very tight …perhaps…
-this position is in a private school so I wouldn’t be paying union dues or contributing to the pension fund which together take a big chunk of my check each week. Without seeing a check from this new place my guess is my take home may be about the same.
-me being on the road for 2 hours a day is not ideal for my wife or toddler.
-this job would likely be just for a year to have an administrative position on my resume.
