[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a nurse. I work nights. I get paid more for working nights, weekends, holidays, etc so I make around $145K. If I worked days I would only make $90K and would have to shell out a ton of money for daycare. I hate being sleepy all the time, but I love being there for my kids during the day. Nursing is a great mom job. Yes, it's blue collar, but when I clock out I'm done! I leave work at work and can focus on my family when I'm home. If I could do it again I would go to school to be a nurse anesthetist before I started having kids so that I could make $245K and have my same schedule.[/quote]

Another nurse here that made a career change from financial management to nursing at 40.  Getting ready to head into my "mom job" shortly---I work Fri night and Sat night 7p-7a.  Pretty sweet gig---work 24 hours per week but paid for 30 with full benefits.  Makes for a lousy social life but I'm 100% available for kids during the week---and they always have a parent available to them.  Not making nearly as much as I did as a financial manager but definitely find the work far more meaningful.  [/quote]
