So, I’m retiring shortly– June 3 will be my last day working for my school district– and like many retirees, I’m wondering about my next career.

For the immediate future, my primary job will be Stay At Home Dad; the pay is terrible but the benefits are immense. And I’ll continue writing here, where the pay is also terrible.

It’s odd how this works. If I had only taught for two or three years, I would be qualified to run an entire charter school, or even serve as the education chief for an entire state. But as I understand it, having worked an entire teaching career instead of just a couple of years disqualifies me for that kind of work.
