I'm a teacher. I have a second job working at the after school program. It's a pretty easy job, I basically watch kids play sports or shoot pool or whatever. It pays alright and I don't have to drive anywhere else, so that's an added bonus.
Orange County has decided next year they are swapping the middle school and high school schedules. This means instead of teaching from 9:30 to 4:00 each day, I will teach from 7:30 to 2:00. It also (likely) means the after school program will be extended. Instead of going from 4:00 to 6:00, it will (probably) go from 2:00 to 6:00.
This would offer me the opportunity to make a load of extra money. But it also means I would be working 55 hours a week. I'm thinking I should take all the hours I can get, try to pay off my credit card debt, and get ahead on my savings. Sephie may be working 9-5 by then anyway, so it wouldn't rob me of too much time with her.
What would you do?

Mmm....money.
I just realized that I haven't had a full-time job since October 2006. So, what do you think my answer is?
ha and here is a completely different viewpoint:
I have been working 55-60 hours for almost a year (wow, a year) back.
While the money is great b/c I did pay off a lot of my school loans, save, etc. I advise don't do it much longer than you absolutely HAVE to.
Life is too short to take away from relationships, hanging with people, etc.
Also - it will be your and Sephie's first year of marriage. Don't take aything away from that awesome time and hanging out - no one likes a grumpy person b/c they are overworked or too tired.....not that you would be, but i come home and hit the gym and i'm off to bed... LOL
i say do it for 6 months and see... :) miss ya guys!
