I welcome advice on a new position.

My current position is:

- teaching ESL 60&37; - DSO 30&37; (designated school official) - New student interviews and some program (IELTS/GMAT class) coordination 10&37; I earn 42K annually and would like: - stay in USA if possible - see an upward tick in income - reduce my DSO role (use my mind more) - continue teaching - open to additional role (quantitative analysis?) - optional: reasonable cost of living or less snow

My profile: - 9 years ESL - Ph.D. in Education Policy - 1 publication (Ed. Policy) - Skilled in quantitative analsis (SAS / SPSS) - Peer Reviewer for multiple journals - 2 articles in progress (not published)

Are my career goals realistic or a moonshot?
