[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Admin. I was on the job market recently, and I got an interview for EVERY job I applied for. I totally had my pick, and I'm making as much or more than most of the careers you mention with truly stellar benefits. 40 hour weeks, lots of flexibility because I chose a family friendly company.

I know people scoff, but for a good salary and a good job to have when you have a household and family to manage, administration (executive assistant, office management) is pretty sweet. [/quote]

Exec assistant schedules can be brutal though. If requires a hell of a lot of talent, for sure, but it's high pressure and the hours aren't always great since if the boss needs something sent out, something done, etc., you are that person. It may work if it is a well-staffed office and they have a lot of coverage so they can stagger schedules. But the head of my department's exec assistant is often sending out memos at night etc.

General admin is probably more family friendly.[/quote]
