[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not physician. You get a gap on resume and you get stigmatized. Its really difficult to rejoin. [/quote]

Really? I thought someone on here said that physician is a good job for moms, because of flexibility. [/quote]

Absolutely not any job where you need to keep up your skills. And what person (forget women!) wants to spend hundreds of thousands on their education and over a decade just to trash it?

My DH is a suegeon and is ALWAYS going to trainings and assisting other surgeons to learn the latest in treatments. It’s a lifetime of experience that just builds. [/quote]

DW is a primary care physician. She sees patients 2 days/week, and earns >100k. Three days per week she is with our young family. In a small private practice, she has had flexibility to increase and decrease the number of days per week she wants to work. So it is not full SAH, but it is a hybrid model that works well for us. In her view, at least, it provides the best mix of spending lots of time with the kids while also maintaining her profession. When kids are older, she can go back to 3 or 4 days per weeks if she wishes. [/quote]
