If you wanted to work 180 days a year, 7 hours a day, on a full time salary, you should have become a teacher! I make more money than my Lawyer bother, and CPA sister. We live comfortably, and can even afford travel lacrosse for all our kids. Being my spouse is also a teacher we will have a combined pension of 200k at 55. I also get to spend time with my kids. It's a win win! Don't shoot the messenger! Best job out there, if you like kids!
