Since 2006, I have worked as a school administrator (Middle School Principal) in a private, Pre-K through 12th grade Christian school, situated in Redmond, just outside Seattle, USA. The pay – relative to other professions – is not great, but the vacation perks are great! It's also an occupation that allows you to travel the world easily. It can be a very rewarding profession if you end up in a good school. |
