$9,000


What difference maketh $9,000?

If I had stayed at Garfield for another year, I would have made about $64,000.

Had I taken the job to teach 3rd grade in Huntington Beach, I would have made $69,000.

Instead, I chose to be a 7th grade lead teacher in Huntington Park where I will have a far greater commute, far more responsibilities, far more challenges, and far less money - $60,000.

Why? Because I will have far more opportunities, far more personal satisfaction, and I will make far more of a difference.




Man I sure could use that $9,000...

If it makes you feel better, they would have taken $3000 out for taxes anyway, so you're actually only down $6000.

Maybe they actually offered your 69,000 doll hairs, so you REALLY made the right choice.

Your frequency of blogging is akin to your frequency of BMs: once a week or so.
