[quote=Anonymous]I think it really depends a lot on who you are and what you want. My sister went for it with the high level career. She works in consulting and stepped back a little for about three years when her kids were really tiny and took and internal role at her company, but then went right back to it. It was absolutely the right decision for her. She was always competitive and would have been unhappy sticking with the mommy track. I went the other way. I was never super competitive and always really enjoyed kids and nature and being outside. I work in academic medicine. I am part time and have a small clinic where I see patients I have had for a while. Otherwise, I cover other people’s vacations and sick days and do a little teaching. I will never have a big career. My days off, I like to spend outside doing stuff with my kids, tending to my garden, etc. We are both pretty happy, but I don’t think either of us would want to switch places. [/quote]
