    I work in educational support on a 10-month contract. I am paid for the built in holidays and I save a little and take the summer off. I think it is a good work/life balance.

      This is like 4x10 hour days or 3x12 hour days to the extreme!!

      I also work in education (university level) but the IT side of the house. I’d love to do this but honestly the slow summer is when we get most of our more extensive maintenance done since it’s slow.

        I can imagine! I cannot guess what it’s like to try to get big projects done when class is in. Just the oppressive amount of bodies. I remember the net going on once in my elementary school. That was chaos. Hearing “When will it be fixed” a thousand times. As someone who depends on IT (my laptop has become a frisbee more than once) thanks for your hard work. :p
