[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you do if anything to support and help him get ahead?

My husband is smart but currently floundering in a 100k job at 30. He has no idea what his next move should be. What can I do to help? [/quote]

One person's helpful support is another person's nagging criticism.  Does he feel like he's floundering, or do you?  Does he want to leave the current job or is he happy there?

If he is not happy at the current job and feels himself like he's floundering but doesn't know what he wants to look for next, then you can ask questions and suggest resources.  What do you like about your current job?  Is there a job/industry out there where you think you could do more of that?  What do you dislike about your current job?  Is there someone in your field whose career you admire?  Could you approach them to talk about how they got to where they are?  Those kinds of things.  But only if he wants someone to talk it through with.  Otherwise just show him confidence that he will figure it out.

Or, if the floudering is because he needs to spend more time at work to excel, you can be supportive by picking up slack on the home front and not complaining about it.
