For love or the $$$ ?

I'm feeling loved because It's been hinted to me several times to stay for the second semester at the school where I teach because I'm liked. My contract was only for one semester and soon it'll be up, however, the option is mine of course. The problem is, the only course that there's an opening for at this school is not an English course nor is it an Art course. It's back to the Careers course! Apparently most teachers have had to teach this course at some point or other so right now it's my turn to go through with it.... BUT there's so many tempting English positions that have opened up just in the past week for various high schools in Peel for semester two. And these are all full-time positions of 3 classes of English whereas if I were to stay at my current school, the position is only for one section of Careers and the rest of the for periods supply work again.

What do I do?

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE THE SCHOOL WHERE I'M AT. It's an amazing school and the staff are amazing and the students are great.. and I know where everything is (especially since I've supplied in almost every classroom).. and I know how things are run.. I don't want to have to learn all this stuff over again. Plus this is my first school... and it's where I had my first class...

But all those English positions are looking awfully tempting...

...Erindale...Fletcher's Meadows...Cawthra Park...Bramalea Secondary... all familiar names... and last but not least, Applewood - the high school my mom attended. That would be weird though, teaching at the school my mom attended?! But years ago my uncle attended my current place of work and now he's a married man in his early 40s with 3 children. I can't really picture him as a teenager sitting in the classrooms I've been teaching in :S

But back to the point. This all comes down to a question of money or happiness. Money, due to the fact that if I was accepted for one of the jobs from one of the above-listed schools (which I'm confident I would be because I now have fabulous references in high places!), I'd be paid as a full-time TEACHER. Whereas, if I stay at my wonderful school right now, I'm getting paid as a part-time teacher but also as a full-time supply teacher. Does that make sense? It's not that much of a difference, but there still is some change. And happiness because, well obviously I'm happy here.

What would you do? Leave for the better pay (and the fact that I can teach a subject I adore again) or stay for the job satisfaction but not the subject you had in mind?

I've already told the school admin that I'm going to stay since I can't bear the thought of leaving, BUT I can still change my mind...

I'm confused :S

Any advice/opinions or simply a hug would be greatly appreciated.
