“But You Have Summers Off”

I tried to post directly on your blog and kept getting an error message. Just wanted to say I couldn’t agree with you more. It is really frustrating. Yes, I seize the opportunity to get to the beach when I can, but I’m also spending many hours on grad classes, professional development, and planning. I love the part about making half the salary of others and not having to worry about plans when your sick. I can’t even imagine what that would be like. 🙂 Like you said though, wouldn’t trade it for any other career in the world.
