Yoda - yes, there is a Sylvan. The pay is bad.

Hubby and I talked about this last night. I know he doesn't want to put pressure on me, but I feel so guilty about our finances because I have more earning potential than he does. I know he is feeling pressured and upset about our finances. I'm sure that he feels that I should get it together and do what is best for our family, but I just don't feel capable. I feel guilty for not being willing to teach high school again, but I'm absolutely positive that teaching high school again will destroy my soul.

So, he wants me to get a full time secretarial job and adjunct at night to make up the difference in pay. When I was in my 20s and 30s, I had enough energy, motivation and ambition to make that a feasible option, but I'm so tired already. Plus, he keeps saying that if I adjunct just one class, I'll only have to be there 3 hours a week. Like that's all there is to it! The planning and grading will take a lot more time than 3 hours a week. After all, I'm teaching 3 classes now and spending 25-30 hours a week doing it. Then he says something stupid, like... well, you already have lesson plans, so there shouldn't be much prep work. Hello!??? Each class is different, moves at a different pace and needs different lesson plans.
