As of December, I don't teach either. I was a science teacher for 4.5 years. I can't say I am working harder in the private sector, but my wallet is a little fatter. I expect it will be fatter by the end of 2007. I was barely getting by as a teacher. I might go back if I had kids, and I wanted to do a hybrid work/stay at home thing with them for a few years.
