I said goodbye to my job for the past 6 years. I started at Mohave community college a few weeks after john and I got married. It was the perfect job all these years because I only had to be away from home 2 days a week and could work from home the other days to make it a full time job. It allowed john and I to have opposite schedules so we didn't require full time daycare (family helped).
I had a lot of great students (and some not so great) and enjoyed what I did.
I was getting a little burned out and the constant attention my students needed (texts, phone calls, emails) really started bothering me. I couldn't ever "clock out" and that was hard to juggle with kids at home that needed me.
There were a lot of not great things about that job (commute, out of state travel 5 times a year, horrible technology, bugs, not so great coworkers, weird city to be in, Saturday clinicals,), but every job has some negative things. My time there was overall very positive.
