To be or not to be....

So this is the choice I am facing- stay as an AVP or accept CM position.

AVP is academic vice principal. I will work with the teachers at one site to ensure that all curricula is being presented, and methodology is within required restraints, which is mostly hands on, student led, and inquiry-based. This position is similar to a curriculum director or principal. I would interact with teachers for the most part. No discipline, no financial. Salary is same in both positions. However, an AVP receives $5000 USD to use to furnish home/apartment. I would have all non-teaching days off.

CM is cluster manager, similar to a superintendent in the US. CM oversees 5 schools and deals with only curricula implementation and managing principals. Would have to deal with parents if concerns arise over grades, curricula, or discipline. Pay is the same as AVP. However, CMs do not get the furniture allowance and I am unsure if homes are furnished or what. Still waiting for response on that one. Also CMs only get 30 days off per year. Also as a CM you would be driving between 5 schools at your own expense. So in actuality you would be making less as a CM than AVP. Only advantage is the experience, which would be great if you came back to the US wanting to be a superintendent.

My question is this: Should I accept the CM position for the experience or stay with the AVP for the money?

Let me know what you think!
