Message: [QUOTE="mussels, post: 4030321, member: 5722"] To me a big factor would be your primary motivation for wanting to be an administrator vs teacher. If you essentially like your current job, and are going into admin for long term advancement ($$), then I would stay put regarding the current offer, and wait for something that was a better overall situation. If you have found that you don't enjoy teaching, and are looking for a career change to get away from something you consider unpleasant, then try a counter offer. I have a relative that started out teaching, then became a principal and eventually a superintendent. Said he always missed teaching as he rose through the ranks. Also required him and his family to move three of four times over the course of his career in order to go where the opportunities were. He eventually retired on the young side and went back to coaching at a small private school. [/QUOTE]
