Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 4030058, member: 1026"] PENSION: At young age the 401K (though bummer can't get in until 1yr) is better than a long teacher pension plan that weds you to the career. PUBLIC V PRIVATE: My wife was a guidance counselor for 11yrs but then left and her pension is near worthless. Also in the current environment private schools have a TON more leeway in resources, decision making etc.. COMMUTE: A 50 minute commute is a bummer and I think the traffic this fall will be the worst ever. I was very bummed to trade 15 mins from work living in city to 1hr in burbs, but it gives the kids a much better quality of life. Covid upside has been a lot more time with them. $/JOB : $ don't matter at a young age if one position is on career path. For me the bottom line would be IF you enjoy the current job vs IF you really want to start learning the admin ropes. [/QUOTE]
