X - he paid a little over three for the house, three or four years ago and has put about 50 into it since. There is a working spouse involved but there has been much change in that area since arrival of child two years ago. Re. "extra jobs" -- I don't care what profession you're in, if you do the minimum, you're not going far. I don't think he considers any of his work "extra jobs." He puts in 11 and 12 hour days (including two-way commute of about an hour). I guess you could call teaching summer school an extra job. Then again, some people would rather have the cash than almost three months of molding the couch cushions to their butt. FWIW, he doesn't decorate classrooms. Also, FWIW, after the rookie year, prep work not that big a burden -- unless the teacher's the type trying to keep a few pages ahead of the class in the text book. I wouldn't care to offer any but the wildest WAG re total earnings -- roughly double that of PS HS teacher with ten years in harness and a couple of advanced degrees. Can vary widely depending on amount of tutoring he wants to do. All teachers I know are happy being teachers. God knows there's some dopey ones out there though. M
