In 2022, 31-year-old Maggie Perkins quit her eight-year teaching job and got a job at Costco. She doesn’t regret the decision, and she’s never been happier. Here’s a look at a day in the life working at Costco.
Not sure this comment deserves downvoting. As a teacher (UK) I get 13 weeks off a year, which is pretty much all time off (no expectation to prep/mark). Private sector friends tend to get around 4-5 weeks max. Similarly, the pension is far better than private sector pensions.
Whilst I might be able to change career for more money, I’m not sure it would be a net benefit, even for 50% more.
That said, the “work time” as a teacher is fairly full on, at around 55-60 hours a week for me, so that’s some form of trade-off. You do have to like doing it!

Though the trade off with all that holiday is that… Going on holiday during that time is like 4x more expensive! 😭
