well, it finally happened. Lafayette College called. i actually had to listen to a voicemail last night because when he called I was on the phone with John Curtis who I have only talked to maybe twice since Katrina.
i called them back today to talk details, and i've been weighing my options since. i'll let you see what you think:
Current job |
Lafayette job |
work from home -
- wear whatever i want
- no commute (except into the next room)
- flexibility to run errands, do laundry, etc.
- lonely and lack of creative cynergy
- isolated (esp when Tim's not around)
pay - same as current
benefits - same as current
professional development - not much if any
maxing out my abilities at a distance
mostly Blackboard support
mostly support faculty
larger school; Michigan name recognition
|
go in to an office -
- must look "professional"
- only 4 mile commute
- work normal 8:45 - 5 hours
- people to bounce ideas off of
- potential to meet new people, make community connections
pay - slight increase
benefits - .5% difference in retirement
professional development - highly supported
opportunities for building new skills and using more of my creativity
than now more "academic" technology
work with faculty, staff and students
smaller, liberal arts; back to my roots
