re: What do you do, and how much do you make?

$80K, Research Scientist in small biotech. Teach one class a semester at the local community college ($8K) and do freelance scientific editing, primarily with a company in India ($5K).

Your comment about low stress and not taking your work home with you is something I think about daily. I'm to the point now that when my company implements its exit strategy, I could reasonably see myself as a tenured community college instructor making ~75% of what I make now. 9-3, Mon-Thurs, with half a day on Fri, teaching folks basic Chemistry is very appealing to me at the moment. Those state-mandated pay scales are pretty surprising.
