DD22 was offered 2 teaching postions in the same hour today!  She accepted a position in a small charter school in her college town. The other job would have paid better, but the one she took has a unique philosophy, attracts the "quirky" innovative thinkers, and is project based learning.  Perfect for her!  She said the interview "felt like a hug" haha, whatever that means!  When she was discussing the 2 options with us, I told her that at 22 and no debt, this is the time to not think about the salary difference and to think about where she would be happiest.  I think she made a good choice. She'll probably live at home through Oct. to save up money for deposits and furniture, then move out.
