USA, Canada / Warsaw or New York? Where to work, raise a family, etc... [14]

Thanks for your replies - it is very much appreciated.

Actually, I have talked to the American school several months ago when they were hiring, but (to make a long story short) there are no science positions at the moment. I will keep in touch with them to see about next year, while at the same time see about the reality of taking a leave of absence for a year. (Thanks for the link PIP)

As for British schools, I contacted them also, but got no reply. From what I understand they are looking for people with experience in the "British" system. I have tons of experience, but I do not have that experience.

HARRY - I would love to talk with one of those people working at the American school, just to get some info on some specifics.

As for the pension - I am still trying to find out what the American school offers. The one I have in New York is pretty sweet. It is hard to walk away from that, and so many people have told me I am crazy to even consider it. Still, I am trying to find out as much information as possible and have an open mind about the entire thing.
