Re: If you were me..............
I'm in a similiar boat. I'm quitting/sabatical teaching after this year. I do make much less than you at teaching.
We both have the summers off. How many hours have you put in so far? Can you sustain 35 hr weeks. I tried but it's a really big drain. I've decided to make my goal 30 hour weeks. I think you should never make professional poker estimates with more than 30 hr weeks. Rerun the numbers that way.
Also nobody ever considers the effect of getting better. As a prolific HUSH poster I imagine your hourly will increase substantially between now and June 2006. By then it won't even be close (and that's if it is close now).
I have one more thing working against me. I'm a computer science teacher and there aren't very many of us around. So my programs may just fall apart when I leave. I'd feel sad if that happened a little.
Just some ramblings.
