Re: What would you rather have

One of the reasons I became a teacher was because of the vacation time. I want to have more time with my kids and in my life in general.

Re: What would you rather have

Since I'm not married, have no kids and live on LI, I want the money.

Once I move upstate, I want time to enjoy with family and actually enjoy life.

Re: What would you rather have

Depends on how much time and how much money we are talking. But, one of the reasons I took the job I have is I have a generous amount of time off, that I can carry over and great benefits. I make very slightly less than I would have in other jobs, but at this point in my life, I feel like I make enough and I want to enjoy the rest of my life more.

I work 9-5, no overtime no weekends and am very happy with that.

ETA: I don't have kids, I just enjoy having time to pursue other interests, and will have more time with kids if that time comes.

Re: What would you rather have

I'm ok where I am- I make enough money and work 9 to 5pm

I had the oppertunity to go back to work in the city - with an increase- but I realized I value my free time

Re: What would you rather have

I would love to have more time off and less money, but since I am the one who makes more money, I can't really do that. Unless we cut back on our spending. Chat Icon

Re: What would you rather have

i used to work 12-13 hour days, and made a NICE salary...Chat Icon
HOWEVER, I barely saw my daughter - (she'd be with the sitter after school, and when i picked her up, it was her bedtime - NO quality time together...Chat Icon )

I would NOT go back to that for all the money in the world!!!

Since we dont have kids yet and DH works a ton of hours now, I would rather work more and make more $$. When we decide to have a family I would probably rather have more time off.

Re: What would you rather have

Well, I already chose the more time off with less money option. I work for a private school and make crap money, however, we get way more time off than public schools. I love it.

Re: What would you rather have

It depends on how much time and how much money we are talking about here... but in general I would vote for the more time/less money.
