[quote=Anonymous]I took almost 15 years off to stay at home. I am a paralegal and volunteered in our county legal aid office for several hours a week the year before I went back to work. It helped me make contacts, establish professional references, and update my skills. It took me about six months to find a job. I was making 45k when I left the workforce. I started back at 70k. Given the higher cost of living in DC, that 70k was probably equivalent to what I was making when left. I basically started my career from the beginning, but I expected that.[/quote]
