[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry about the secondary infertility.  And I get where you're coming from.  I hope you're still reading.

I had a few ideas based on what you've written.  First, check out a book on midlife called Life Reimagined that came out recently.  It has a great chapter on work and how hard it can be to jump into something new, and how to make it easier.

Second--and I apologize because this is not paid work which I know is what you want, but somehow reading your posts you seem suited to it-- I wonder if you would consider working as a volunteer in the foster care system, specifically as a court appointed special advocate (CASA).  These are desperately needed and could blend your experience with kids and law.  Anyway, it just popped into my head.

I think you would benefit from meeting with a good career coach.  That could help you prioritize sometimes conflicting issues, like whether to get a 10-3 job (very very difficult and it may not be fulfilling), or whether to aim for a fulfilling career with longer hours.  And a career coach might help you crystallize what you really want to do.  [/quote]
