Gosh Lindsay! I don't know how I missed this!!!
I can tell you one thing, I have worked for 30 years in a career that I have loved every minute of. It DID NOT pay me what I could have earned in a different type of position. For example, hospital administration pays MUCH MUCH better - but it is SO SO SO stressful and the hours a very very long and tedious. I wouldn't trade my lower paying job for any type of hospital administration job - not for all the tea in China! There is a lot to be said for sanity and peace!
You have carefully considered everything, by the sounds of it and you have made a good decision. Good luck!
