[quote=Anonymous]I’m a SAHM and recently widowed. I have life insurance benefits and other survivors’ benefits but the reality is that I need to rebuild my resume, pay for COBRA, and establish sufficient income to hire more help in the future. But I also have kids who are established in their extracurriculars and really need the comfort and stability of a routine, along with their familiar friends and coaches.

I have some carpools and help from friends for now but I’m realistic that it won’t be forever and that I need to build sustainable, paid options for driving the kids so I can have a full-time career and get health benefits.

What kinds of jobs are out there that might put me on the right track? Initially I was looking for something known for solid benefits, like Trader Joe’s or Costco, but I won’t have the flexibility they require at the start. A friend suggested being a school paraprofessional or cafeteria worker to get a foothold in a local school district.

Any other ideas? [/quote]
