30 years in education as of this year. Because of family stuff in the past, and needing to cash out my retirement, I am at year 6 of paying into the retirement fund instead of year 30.
56 years of age, still enjoying the job, healthy except for the Covid pounds I can’t lose (yet), and at a school that treats me “good enough” which is good enough to keep me…and perhaps teaching until I am 70? That would put me at 20 years of paying into the retirement fund.
Congrats on the upcoming year of lasts, Jim! I’ve seen many over the years and all of them were well deserved and left big holes to be filled.
