[quote=Anonymous]This has been our circle for nearly 20 yrs. (feds who travel every 2 yrs for State/FBI/CIA/military). I cannot think of a single spouse who has worked overseas, except at the embassy in the aforementioned clerical job. Traveling domestically, I know one wife who is a paralegal and can sometimes work remotely, but even that's been hit or miss. It is brutal for the spouse's career. In fact, not to be Debbie Downer, but I know more couples who have divorced than ones where the wife is having an "equal" career. In general, the wives have jobs like teaching or nursing, that they re-enter while in the DC area. Some (like me) are housewives. [/quote]
