I'm vaguely considering paying the Montessori school for K... but only if I have a job. <br /><br />Israeli dude. She is having a Terrible Person Year. Jenny F.

I think it needs an R1's level of funding to support that. The other universities 'nearby' (a couple hours away) have a lot of alumni who stick around and saturate the labor market so I don't see that being a viable option right now. I've thought about it... if we were still in Cold City it would be a better option! (If we were still in Cold City I could go work in Bicycle Company consulting for $$$$$$.)Jenny F.

One of the other people I read decided against academia and is now a freelance science writer and seems to be managing to make a partial living at it. Perhaps there are people on campus who would pay you to work on grantwriting, data analysis, whatnot? I suppose it would be slow and tedious, but given that you're probably trapped there forever, better than the alternative that is NOTHING AT ALL?bunnyhttps://glumbunny.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36650952.post-86454402846614536772016-04-04T00:08:47.374-04:002016-04-04T00:08:47.374-04:001) More money would let you buy time away from the...1) More money would let you buy time away from the children, and give your brain some exercise. That would be awesome. I wonder if there is anything you could do on the internet. Editing journals, or something.<br /><br />2) Your food situation sucks. A lot. Definitely buy th pre-chopped stuff, and meat. I'm working on a personal cookbook so I can have a list of family-approved recipes to choose from when I plan meals every week.<br /><br />3) Children! When does #2 go to kindergarten? Because more kids in school is awesome. Preschool is good, too. They need socializing, and to get out of your hair.<br /><br />4) Yes, she's being totally scrappy, and burning her relationship with you to the ground. Btw, a dude??
