Any women here who actually LIKE working?

If so, what do you do? Why does it bring you so much fulfillment?

Yes, I really do like working because I LIKE what I do. I work for a private wealth manager.

I have two school aged kids, so my hours are parent-friendly. 8:30-3pm. The job is fulfilling enough and pays enough to make it worth my while, and I really have no desire to "grow my career" as it would mean having to study for and get industry specific licensing which comes with a whole other set of responsibilities and stress that I am not interested in having.

And yes, my above attitude does have a lot to do with DH's income. At $280K, he makes enough so that we can live a comfortable life, at least comfortable by our standards. Because of this I can afford to have the attitude that I have no desire to grow my career.
