Look at the Pension arrangements carefully, could still be one of the few good deals left.......worth real $$$ Notes.....yer just have to wait for 'em!
Holidays? I dunno what industry you are in, but from what the Teachers
say it is the only industry I have ever heard of that is not chock full of folk willing and able to do as little as humanly possible, and some work very hard at doing b#gger all!...........and so whilst I am sure their are teachers who work 27 hours a day, including the holidays - somehow I doubt this is compulsory.......and longggggggg paid holidays are worth serious money. Last year I was on holiday 4/5 months, but no fooker paid me
....but then again I earnt a bit more than a Teacher.........
Job security could be worth something - but IMO depends on the individual, for me the thought of doing the same job for 20 odd years is something I would accept less money to avoid!
Teaching stuff to kids? It's not as if the 5 times table changes much every year or a great deal has happened recently in the Crimean War
.....and you can make a big difference to a kid's life.....albeit probably only to about 1 a year
I think more money comes from taking on managerial responsibility........albeit I get the impression that the money is not commensurate with the extra grief.
