Whoo-hoo... Leave or Sit it out? Family discussions..

[BigBear]

Just throwing this out there bear,

but no-one who was ever truly successful and/or happy go that way by "playing it safe".

A safe life is often a mediocre one.

True... But playing it would've been not getting married. I love my marriage, so I do take risks every now and then. But in this case, as much as I've love to go for it, I currently feel... like it would be stupid to "go for my dreams".

I dont mean to make anyone feel stupid. Going into the unknown and being broke are two worst case scenario that I would avoid.

Well, I have the broke part down pretty well, HAHA.

On the flip side however, knowing what most school districts and teachers have come to these days, every young person deserves to have a teacher that isn't a Liberal nut job (I have to assume you aren't, lol), and has a passion for firearms.

I hope I'm not a liberal nut job... and I do like my guns!

Sometimes it's easier to strip away all the garbage and look at the issue as black and white as possible. The way I see it, you have only two choices: Big risk for big reward, and little to no risk for stability.

So, the real question is; are you and your wife willing to shoulder the risk? That's a simple yes or no, and you can go from there.

There are allot of very good points here with allot of good advice.

One problem,
That's THEIR lives, this is yours.
Money, no money, tenure no tenure. none of these things will bring you happiness.

You do what your heart tells you to do.
Your friends will be here to back you up.

Best wishes.

I have met some male pornstars (besides female ones, of course) at the AVN in Vegas.
They were so burned out and tired of their job...
The point being, even the best and more fun job in the end ends up being ...a job.
A job should only be what you need to do to get the means to do what you really like, on your own terms and schedule.
Just my two...

good news is 2 openings for what you wanted to be.
Bad news. When the budget AXE falls, a band teacher is cut quicker than foreskin at a Bris'.

good friend was the school's band teacher, before the official notice of budget cuts was made public, he was unemployed. First round cuts He went part time.

Rgr, I just wish society valued what I can do... but we can't have everything!

So, I'm going to call teh folks and submit my resume, etc. We'll see what happens, I can always decline right?

Yah, I call BS. I've known plenty of people, myself included, who love their jobs and look forward to working at them everyday.

I wouldn't dream being a porn star would be even REMOTELY fulfilling.

And if you're the kind of person who thinks that would be the "best and most fun job", then you probably have some bigger things out of whack than just an unhappy job situation.

BigBear,

My vote is for you to follow your passion as long as you can pay the bills and the wife is happy.
