[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  [b]Why does age matter regarding this topic?[/b]  I'm a 33 year old woman.  I used to be ambitious, until age 28.  Now I am content to be a "C student" at work.  I wish I could get my ambition back, but I'm not sure I can because I'm so apathetic about working.  [/quote]

Well, off the top of my head I could give you at least 15 reasons why age is relevant but since you are so snarky when I'm trying to help, I'm going bye-bye.

NP here. I don't think OP's response was snarky. She just asked. Reread it and you'll see there's no snark at all.

I am also 33 and lost all ambition after having my kid. Also content to do C-level work at work. Frankly, I don't know that I'll ever care as much about work as I used to before I had my kid -- I'm not saying I'm some amazing mom and now I see my purpose in life or anything, just that I don't give a tinker's damn if I blow my boss's socks off anymore. I mean, who cares? I'd rather save my energy and be "on" with my kid at the end of the day. 1 hour of playing hide-and-seek and catching fireflies without stressing about checking my email is worth more than some meaningless departmental recognition or a marginal raise in salary.[/quote]

This X 100 (but I'm 34 with 2 kids).[/quote]
