[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what the working moms are not getting is that the rich SAHMs don't want to go back to work if it's going to be boring or annoying. So no retail work. No entitled clients. No tedious paper work. What's the point of that?

What kinds of jobs are actually fun?

So far we have writing, design, and science.[/quote]

I am a senior level manager in local government.

I don't know about "fun"?  I find it rewarding, often intellectually stimulating.  I enjoy coming to work every day.  I'm part of creating a vision of where we're going and implementing it.  I attend meetings, do a lot of writing, a fair amount of public speaking, brainstorming with colleagues, problem solving, etc.  I get asked a lot to provide input and I give it, which feels good.  I make decisions.

I don't understand these questions.  I think some of you haven't had a job since you were pretty low-level?  Jobs get a lot better when you move further along.  Sure it's more responsibility, which has headaches.  But yes, it's "fun" to develop an expertise in an area and then use it to move an organization forward and see the results.  [/quote]

New Poster. I'm not that poster who asked the question but what I think she means is: would you do this job even if you didn't need the money? I.e. if you came into a significant windfall, would you keep working?

Sounds like you would, which is great. PP is looking for examples like that.[/quote]
