The luxury of extra time off. Teaching affords one large swaths of time off. I have become quite accustomed to this. I am not sure how I would do with a normal job with a week or two off a year.

We work out butts off during the school year, to be sure, but compared to when I was in the restaurant business, we get a ton of time off. In the restaurant business, you could take a week or two off, but it was all unpaid. If you took more than that, the manager would start giving your shifts away.
When I first started teaching, It felt so strange to just be off for weeks at a time. I honestly did not know what to do with myself, luckily my daughter who was born my first year as a teacher took care of that problem for me.
Now I can’t wait to have to time off so I can go travel, connect with friends and family, and just enjoy life. Another ten more years and I will be off all the time (retirement)!
