My sis in law just got back from a months long cross country trip with her family. What other profession allows for this ? Not many. She teaches k-12 and is tenured. In my state teachers get tenure after 5 years. No it’s not as safe teaching in inner city schools over suburban, but then again neither is being a police officer , emt, or even a grocery store clerk for that matter. Many inner city teachers are from the area and it’s their passion to give back. Roi isn’t just about money. My hats off to them, I’m sure it’s tough. That’s the nice thing about being educated in America. You have options.
IT. Get a job where when you're hired you start with minimum 3 weeks vacation. After a few years you're up to 4 weeks vacation. Yes, some place will allow you to take the entire vacation at one time. Teachers also don't get paid for summer. So she isn't really on vacation. Teachers are 10 month positions in most states so they're paid for 10 months of work not 12 months.
