I'm about to finish this assignment and go home for 3 months to study for a licence. The point of the licence is so I can be more picky about the jobs I take; not more interesting places, because I'm a bit of a homebody anyway. not even really more money, because I think the way the contracts work, it's negligible. But so I can take assignments that are closer to home where my husbands of 5 and 3 years remain while I'm in other states. Also for a future where I switch over to a different career teaching.
I did the math and every week not working will be around 2k I'm not putting in my pocket. 😮 So I realized I'm losing out on 16k+ to study for a test. That's an expensive test!
Back when I only made about 1k/week, I was like, eh, month off is awesome. Now that's it's twice that, it's kind of staggering me.
I guess it's not really a question, but I feel guilty? @_@ Anybody else get this feeling when they started earning more?
Edit add: Unrelated, I've noticed how my job satisfaction is inversely proportional to how much I read and post on this forum. :P
