My #1 issue with this is, what about your husband? Can he go off and follow his dreams while you get a "mommy job?" Are you going to be okay doing all the work around the house?
DH and I just have two regular jobs (pay 100k and get out at 5:30) and we stagger schedules for children. I wouldn't be okay doing 100% of childcare or chores. DH is 50% their parent too and needs to step up. |

So are you already a mom? Did you already have a career at one time? |

You will not get $150K as a starting salary in any field. Except law, but from what I heard, being a new associate is pretty hard on "mommies". |

| I telework fulltime (from home), I am off by 4:30 every day and am a GS-14 (I only make about $105K a year right now- but top end of the scale is about $135K). It will be years before I get there though (I am a new 14). No weekends and great worklife balance. I worked in private sector for years - and took a big paycut to get my foot in the door with the feds. Well worth the sanity. |

Probably not law or major management or medicine (unless you're an RN and do the 3 days of 12 hr shifts and then off) . You can do it in some IT places. I recommend picking something you're good at wnd work that can be done remotely without a lot of face time. Project based. and then putting some time into a company (once you see try are family friendly) and by the time you have kids you will have a reputation for your good work and can make your own schedule. |

| You apparently can make 500K doing PT work for Big Law. |

| I'm sure this can be done in law; why wouldn't it be possible in law?? |

I don't think it is a specific field. Some employers have flexible schedules, others offer 1 day a week to telecommute, others do not offer either. Do you have a degree at all? |

Working 8am-4:30pm each day with one telework day per week isn't unheard of for the government, but 150K is near the top of the GS-15 ladder, so it takes time to get there.
Alternatively, Capital One is supposed to be good about that. |
