[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hope for what? Realistically, 50K at fifty after a long break is not bad at all. Many people would love to be able to afford a non-stress part-time job.[/quote]

I do feel very lucky to have been able to work part time this long.  Personally, I don't feel that 50K is that bad, but I've been told that it's kind of pathetic and I should be able to make more by finding a different field.  To me that seems kind of impossible - starting over in a whole new field with no experience and expecting to make more than 50.  A financial advisor even told me that if that's all I can make I need to look for a different kind of job - but who starts out in a new field and makes more than that??  I have an English degree with a lot of writing and teaching experience, but none of it in a high-paying area.[/quote]
Whoever told you that has their own biases going- don't let them put that on you. If you were fine with or even excited about a prospect,  don't let the fact that someone thinks it's "pathetic" derail you![/quote]
