I decided to go into teaching after spending over 7 years at Longwood trying to earn a degree. It really is a great slacker job. The wife and I both teach and between the two of us only earn 130k a year. We live a frugal lifestyle in a little townhouse and drive beater cars. When we get our 30 years in we will will be in our mid 50s with enough savings to keep health insurance paid until we are eligible for medicare. I would not trade my summers off for any amount of money.
