[quote=Anonymous][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]

What's wrong with that?

+1  My mom was a 60 yr old admin. She returned to admin work in her mid-40s after being out of the workforce for 15 yrs (my sister and I were in HS).  She'd been a secretary for 7 yrs before she quit when my sister was born.  She did very well and actually was promoted at one point but didn't like the pressure and faster pace and switched back to her old admin role.  My dad got laid off when I was in college so mom ended up being the breadwinner for 10 yrs (on her admin salary) before they fully retired.  She was very happy with her work.  [/quote]
