[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother stayed home until her 40s. Never worked after college. Once we were more independent (high school age), she volunteered for an organization. After many years as a volunteer she was eventually hired to work full time as an admin. She's 60 now and still working. Volunteering can be a good way to make connections. [/quote] Sure if you want to be a 60 yr old admin.[/quote] I used that term to simplify; she actually does graphic design and a lot of creative work as part of her role. She enjoys what she does and wouldn't do it otherwise, since her income has never been needed. But that's not the point. My point was simply that huge gaps don't make you unemployable, and that volunteering can be a path to employment. [/quote]
