How long i wanna stay in Teaching?

After starting teaching since 28 June '09, its only 2.5 months gone!! woo!! I thought its been half a year!! hmm, time passes very very fast...and the kids are having their exams soon! Why did i think i spent a lifetime in sec sch?? 4 years seemed so long! So much memories... =)

I spoke to a fellow adjunct teacher a few days ago, and she told me how MOE retains teacher, through the CONNECT PLAN. It is separate from the annual bonuses that we usually get. I heard alot of figures, but it didn't get into my head..
So, i went online and started scanning through the benefits and renumeration of being a teacher under MOE...

AND So, i'm starting to countdown! I wanna stop teaching by 50 years old, which is 25 years from now..

CONNECT Plan Payouts
Year 1 - No payout -
Year 4 - $15,200
Year 7 - $24,000
Year 10 - $25,900
Year 15 - $36,100
Year 20 - $28,500
Year 25 - $18,500
Year 30 - $20,600

If i'm sick of teaching and wanna enjoy life, i will stop at Year 15, when the Connect Plan payout is highest at $36,100. By then, i'll be 40 years old only...and i'll convert to adjunct teaching. Easier life (with 1/2 load, 3/4 load or full teaching load to choose from), so i can enjoy both teaching and having a good life also...

Or maybe i'll convert at Year 10? If i'm fortunate enough to get married and have kids, at age 35!! ahaHah~* So,...yes..i decided to get married late...Anyway, no significant one yet also, so no hurry..I think i can spend the one-time payout in a One month Europe trip. hahaaHA~~*

HAizzZZz...

Amen.
