[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 569170, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]My older daughter (43) taught elementary school physical education for 18 years. She has an M.A.+ in education. The combination of the pandemic, out of control school politics, and children who have no knowledge of appropriate behavior told her it was time to make a vocational change. Her husband does well financially and they have no children, by choice. She enrolled at a local vocational school to train in I.T. She's now three months into a paying 30 hour a week job "really learning I.T." on the job. By this time next year, she expects to be in a career position in I.T. with a local school system where a friend is the chief I.T. officer. In all honesty, when she said was leaving education, I was vocally very critical of her decision. She's literally ABT for her Ed.D. With her years of experience and degrees, she was earning almost $90K annually for nine months in the classroom. "It's my life, Dad, and I simply cannot deal with the system and the misbehaving kids anymore." And she does seem much, much happier. She's a very fortunate woman. Her husband's income is enough to support them comfortably, and her father is there to cushion any bumps in the road. LOL, When I was her age, I had daughters ages 9 and 1 and walking away from my primary source of income was not a luxury I would have ever considered. Times and circumstances change. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
