Should I switch jobs?
I'll keep it as short as possible. I am currently in my second position as a 7-12 music teacher responsible for every aspect of band, choir, gen music, musical marching band etc. it is very draining BUT the job is 25 mins away from my house.
I am likely to be accepted to my dream job. Only elementary general music and some special education gen music. I had some of this in my first job - but way to much extra added on top (1st job was K-12 1000 kids every 6 days).
The problem is the new job is 50 mins away from my house. Do you think it would be worth double the drive to have a way better job, slightly more pay, no after school responsibilities, but a substantial commute that would put wear and tear on my vehicle... I'm just not sure where I am at. Thank you!
(I will be going into my 4th year of teaching in PA)
