[quote=Anonymous]I would not want to be away from my kids in exchange for $100 a week. I hear what everyone else is saying about promotions and whatnot, but I personally could not do it. If I went back to work right now I would make, at most, $800/mo, so double what you're considering, with all commuting costs factored in, and I would have a 1.5 hour commute each way (3 hours total). My kids would be in day care/after care from 9 a.m. until 6:30 each night. I would be gone before they woke up in the morning, and I would go to bed at the same time they do at night. I would never see my husband except on the weekends. Not worth it. Obviously each person's situation is different, but I wonder whether the women who always advise taking/sticking with the job no matter what on these threads would feel the same about my facts. Also I would not have any benefits so no additional income there. For us it does not make sense for me to work right now. YMMV. [/quote]
