I am super excited to start my new job, but am kind of worried that I have landed my supposed dream job at 30 years old. Well, I guess I'll be 31 when I start it. Is this truly what I want to do for the rest of my career? Only time will tell I guess. If I am a lifer in BPS, I could retire in my mid-50's. That is pretty appealing. They always say that teaching perks don't kick in until you retire. You work your ass off for 30-35 years, and then you are finally compensated for your hard work in retirement. Are there really that many teacher perks on the tail end of your career? Who knows. I have to think that this has somehow broken our current system and wonder if it will even still be an option when I am close to retirement.
Anyway, I am excited for the new job opportunity in a wonderful school in the district. Probably one of the best schools. But first, I'm ready to enjoy my summer with Brody and Zoe. We have tons of activities planned for the summer including baseball, soccer, day camps, swim lessons, trips to the zoo, museum, splash pads and hopefully lots of picnics and trips to the park!
