    You can still retire early, Joe.

    That’s really selfish, Joe!!! She keeps working, the kids keep growing & you play tons of golf.

    Turning down money that could go toward your family and turning down more time with your family sounds a bit wrong to me.

    I still expect Option A: Teach what she knows 3 days per week and work patients as much as she wants other days. Nothing says, she cannot teach using the “Hands-on-method.”

    The committee is still planning to “throw more money at her.”

    I still can’t see Marcy’s conflict. I have been treated by a medical school professor in a regular teaching hospital for a regularly scheduled operation that he performed. Officially and actually, I was his patient.

    The author didn’t want to change the dynamics of the strip. Sadly.

    I really don’t believe the 3 days a week for this position. Even elementary school teachers put in way more hours than they are on the classroom. I have an advanced degree, and while I never taught on that level, I’m under no illusion that my professors “only” put in the hours I saw them in the classroom. I don’t believe someone teaching advanced cardiac nursing is only going to be putting in 3 days a week. Partly, because unless she has a PHD in Nursing, she’s going to be going back to school. She’s going to have LESS time with her family, not more. How can she turn down all that money? Money’s nice, but it’s not everything. Few positions give you way more money for way less time invested. Not when you are in the same field. I know nurses with kids in the age range of her kids, and they look for positions which allow them to put in fewer hours, and more flexible hours, so they can spend time with the kids. But they are NOT moving to positions with greater authority/responsibility.
