Another month, another special issue for our paid subscribers! I'm thinking about leaving teaching after ten years. What's your advice for starting over career-wise at 36? With three kids? I don't want to go work for a corporate overlord, but I want to feel okay about leaving work at work and being present for my family.

Karen: I agree with all of this, excellent advice, Margaret. Subscribe to twobossydames to keep reading this post and get 7 days of free access to the full post archives.
