[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really sad here that the comeback to happy and fulfilled life choices is "but do you have an education/degree?". Seriously, who gives a shit? I hold a degree and so what? I'm working at a job where I don't see my children until 6PM at night. That is not ideal. No amount of education can compensate for the time I have to spend away from my children. The intellectual crowd needs to give it a rest..especially when you probably aren't as smart as you think. [/quote] Amen sister![/quote] I totally disagree. Why should I give up my career just to spend a couple more hours a day with my kids? When they are teens they're not home anyway. And what do you do when they leave the nest? I would highly regret not achieving something in the workplace.[/quote] It's all about priorities. I work out of necessity, but would LOVE to be home with my children. I place my family above all else. It bothers me that I'm not home when my children get home from school. I should be there for them. I could care less about "achieving something in the workplace". I am not irreplaceable; most people aren't. Besides, I'll be an empty nester before I'm 45. Barring a major catastrophic event, my time left to work outweighs the time I will have to parent my minor children. [/quote]
