So I'm facing some job choices that I'm finding to be a little difficult. This might be a long one, so get a fresh cup of joe.
I'm making the transition from small school to big school and haven't really verbalized a lot of my thoughts because I don't have that many people I trust in my life, but I knew I could get some semi-decent feedback. So, I'm making this transition and getting back to the Houston area. My parents aren't getting any younger, but they certainly aren't old. I know my sister won't take care of them in their old age so I want to get back and set a foundation for myself when the time comes.
I have some great offers on the table and, man, it's getting difficult. I could sign a contract right now with one; I LOVED it! The principals, dept head, and AD. All great people, plus the classroom assignment that I truly want! But it's for a head position that I literally didn't know about until it came out of the AD's mouth. But everything else fit. I don't want to be head anymore. Been there, done that. Had a great time, but no thanks. One of the reasons I'm wanting to go big school is to lose a sport and only have to worry about 2, not a WHOLE program. I would go in a heartbeat, literally, if it were an asst position. I truly enjoyed everyone I spoke to, and the admin is promising support, and I do believe they would, but it's just not what I want right now.
On the other hand, I interviewed at another place and connected immediately with the coaches. They were going through a search for a new CAC, which is finalized, and the ball is rolling right now to get coaches, looking at teaching fields, etc. This process is taking a little longer than I want because I'm the most patient person ever (lol). Waiting for people to put in resignation, contracts, blah, blah. I get it. Been in the situation before. This school is truly where I want to be., I guess I'm just nervous.
Any comments, advice, chiding, well wishes are welcome lol
