[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]

[b]Absolutely not any job where you need to keep up your skills.[/b] 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]

+1 I'd include most IT jobs in that.

But, anything where you can manage to do occasional freelance work to keep your skills and network fresh can work. I'm in marketing research and was a SAHM for 7 years but did a few projects every year for former companies/co-workers so I didn't have a total gap on my resume and had recent references. I never had to seek out work, just let people know when I left that I would be available. The most important thing is to work you A$$ off at the start of your career to establish yourself as a top contributor. [/quote]
