I am on my second postdoc and want to escape into the real world, but there is one small problem. In order to get this position, I had to sign a "repayment agreement". This must be something new, because I did not have to sign one at my first post-doc. Basically, it states for each month I work as a postdoc, up to one year, I incur a liability to repay the money should I decide to leave the field and work in something other than medical or health related teaching or research. For each month after one year, the liability is removed, until at 2 years, there is no repayment liability. If I were to leave now, after 7 months, I would have to repay 7/12 of what I been paid so far, or about $15,000. So, my question is, does anyone have any experience with this? Is it possbile to get out of it? I have no interest in doing research any more, and teaching would be ok, but finding a job would probably be a problem.
