I might need some sense talked into me here. I have two job offers and am leaning towards school 1 for work. But school 2 is more reasonable for my life. The school is in a city I’d love to live in. I eventually want to move there, but that’s not a guarantee. Overall benefits are better but the commute is long. Plus my husband’s work is close to where we currently live. However, I really dislike where we live. It’s far away from almost everything. Administration and work culture is both strong at both schools from the teachers I’ve talked to. I have broken down pros and cons for both schools.
School 1
55 minutes in rush hour
60k a year
Tuition assistance )working towards my master’s)
My children will be able to go to one of the top elementary/ middle schools in the state
Desirable area
My children have spots at a high quality daycare
School 2
5 minutes away
15 minutes away from husband’s work
56-57k a year
No tuition assistance
Good schools
Poor quality daycare (only 1 in area)
Undesirable area (remote 45-60 minutes away from everything)
