[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two teen DD’s. Both have expressed a hope that they can SAH or go part time when their children are young. Yea they know it’s not guaranteed, etc. But there are definitely some careers that seem more conducive to this than others. What are careers that provide independence/financial stability but also flexibility for the early kid years? Nursing is one that came to mind. [/quote]

Your kids could do this with just about any government job (ie fed, state, city, county, local govts). This may also work in the Banking field.

HR also seems to be a field where I've seen women hop in and out as needed, and seems easier to transition into from other fields (at least based on what I've witnessed among my peer group).

One more option that is viable is Corporate Training and Learning. It's not talked about much on this board but I have seen people from all ages and all kinds of backgrounds go into successful and well-paying Corporate Training roles. That field offers a large variety of options in the F500 organizations. You have people in the field doing training, you have people at the headquarters doing trainings, you have people creating training curriculums and learning technology for the org, etc. Lots of opportunities in this field and easy to catch up and recover on any missing experience or resume gaps.[/quote]
