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)!

Thanks for stopping by The Lifelong Learning and Education Blog! I hope you have a fantastic day. What is a luxury you can’t live without?

  1. Agreed I also said time is the most valuable precious luxury we have.

    1. You can’t get more of it, that is for sure!

  2. Great posts as always. I think that’s a great answer to this question I didn’t think of. What came to my mind was music. Music is such a strong art form that has shaped my identity. When my life has hit a low, music has allowed me to cope with sorrow. It’s impossible for me to imagine a life without music. If no music existed, it would be a depressing life for sure.

    This post brought to mind the movie “Yesterday”. It imagines how a world would be without the Beatles and their timeless music. A beautiful tribute to the Beatles and the value of their music. As a fan of the band, I loved it. Here’s why it is worth a watch:

    1. The Beatles were amazing! They were so far ahead of their time, it was like they were from another world completely!
