[quote=Anonymous]Some of the jobs you are describing are pretty typically female (teaching, event planning), admin level, or just out of college jobs.  I would say that the main problem with them is boredom in the long run, along with lower pay.

I think being an EA can be a good role for some if you can handle some of the boredom and the BS of it.  But I don't understand why anyone with a college degree would want to do it, especially a woman.  (This is coming from someone who's first job was as an EA for a year, the most I could stand.)

If you are interested in project management, one way to be more valuable is to start working on your PMP certification.  That is more in demand that just "event planning" (not as cool as it sounds, often work long hours for low pay and often on weekends or evenings anyway).  Also, if you are planning to stay in the DC area, working for the goverment or a defense contractor as a project manager might be more suited to your skill-set.   Also, a LOT better paying.
