Congrats! But more importantly how many years left....?
haha - I have several friends who are teachers and now that we are all older, the question of how many years left always comes up when I see them.
because the united states is very 'state based' you can work for one state for 20 years or so, get a retirement package from one state, and then drive to the nearest school in the closest state, and then work another 15 years or so
