8 years til retirement - checked out other places and the teaching salaries aren't any higher and the cost of living is so I guess I will just have to suck it up and stay
I understand salaries aren't higher & cost of living diff but if you have an opportunity to veture off to another land, why not? Another idea though would be to wait until you retire and then venture off to another land.

Anywho, keep warm & cozy this winter.
