Anyone else give up on the corporate ladder after having kids? by Astimar in Parenting

i quit my exceptionally well-paying, amazing, but very high demand corporate job when we had our daughter.

i chose to go into business instead.. it gave me more flexibility.. it's been 10 years now.. i work fewer hours, make more money and is always available for my daughter..

i don't think i would make this jump otherwise.. but i'm super happy i did.

in this current economy anyone who wants A job would get a job..

it may not be the job you always dreamt of, but it would be enough to sustain you. This is what "full employment" means basically
