Side topic, corporate vs. non-profit sector: Downside: 75% lower rate than standard industry rate (5% lower rate of pay than "80%-Compa"). Upside: 38-hr work-week instead of the corporate-standard 50-hr week - effective hourly rate is 5% higher. Plus: Set my own pace, nobody's getting rich at someone else's expense. Rarely, if ever, are there mass layoffs.
