I hated it at first, but it grows on you after a while. I've created a fair discipline program with the teens and focus on teaching interesting lessons. I'm sorry about your experience, but it can be totally different at other schools depending on the administration. There are so many people that would love to have a teaching job right now (more stable, less layoffs, pension, etc). I'm a teacher(5yrs) in Nevada making $43K with free medical & 20.5% employer/paid pension. It's not a doctor or lawyer, but a very stable and respectable career. I was married with two kids for 14 years and then got divorced 4 years ago. She took me for everything. I wish I never had that experience. So "the grass is always greener" dude. The idea of being alone for the rest of MY life THRILLs me! If you're lonely it's cheaper to just date or get a pet. You may be too old to start over if you have too much debt. Build on the experience you already have to find your career and sell the condo when the market picks up (condos are terrible investments). Maybe you could use the Internet to find better paying jobs in an area with a lower cost-of-living. Good luck!! I’m 42 yrs. old and have been teaching for 5 years now.
