Guys, it's not the money...it's the schedule of the new job that is what I'm interested in. I don't want to necessarily switch jobs just to have the same limiting schedule...it's my time that is my priority.
No, what I said was I didn't choose this path like you insinuate. I knew very little of what this job would be like until I got into it. Very similar to most post high school graduates who have to pick a major based on a short description of a career.
8 years, however I would most likely still have to work because my wife's insurance won't pay my insurance premium. I hold the insurance in our family.
What if I said I do it for summers off and a pension. Unless you grow up taking over your parents business because you started working for them as a teen, you have no idea what a job entails until your first day of work. My training as a teacher never prepared me for an active shooter, giving...
I really enjoy my limited experiences out in South Dakota pheasant hunting and WI has some of the best grouse hunting in the country. I live in SE WI which makes grouse hunting a bit difficult because of the drive if you can only do it on the weekends and you can forget SD with only 2 PTO days...
When Scott Walker was our almighty governor years ago, he enacted Act 10 which took WI collective bargaining unions away. That is how anyone with 22 years experience gets 2 days of PTO. There is no such thing as renegotiating anymore here.
Not looking for shoulders to cry on at all. If I was an avid bass fisherman, this job would be the cat's meow. Again, I just like getting perspectives of others.
Or retire with a bunch of money, and still not have a grouse because my job won't let me follow my passions. Money has ebbed and flowed my whole life. My first house was a starter home for 100K and my second home was double that. For twice the money you would think I should get twice the...
Thanks for the reply. We don't have kids, our school loans are paid off, we do have a mortgage on a house that has doubled in value over the last 8 years we have been there, and we have modest car/truck payments. The fact that we don't have kids makes the decision more doable in my opinion...
I know what is important to me...I am just more or less curious as to what other's think. It's also nice to get responses to things I may have not thought of.
Our tech ed teacher came from the Dakota's and he said their district did this as well. I don't really want to uproot my wife since she seems like she has found her dream job, but moving out west would be in my opinion the best!
Hey everyone,
I am at a bit of a crossroads in my life. I have an absolute love for bird hunting, shotguns, and bowhunting not to mention hiking, kayaking, and fishing. I've been an educator for the past 22 years and only get 2 personal days the whole entire year. I have a ton of sick days...
I've checked gunbroker and guns international, both current auctions and past sales in the last 30 days, and you are right Salmonchaser, the prices are kind of all over the place but so are the conditions of the guns, the butt pads, chokes vs. no chokes, the finish, wood grain, etc. etc. etc. I...
I have a Winchester model 23 sxs new in box. It is a 25 1/2" pigeon grade XTR model, complete with a set of 6 winchokes, wooden winchester choke wrench, box, hang tag, etc. that I am thinking about selling. Does anyone have a blue book of guns to give me an estimate of worth?
