[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with previous poster.  There's NO way you're going to start a meaningful career at age 40 when you only want to work 10-3pm.

LOL

You are looking for the golden unicorn.  If any of us had the answer we'd be in that career ourselves tomorrow.  [/quote]

I really don't know what you possibly think people can suggest in this thread. Come on, OP. You're being completely ridiculous. "I want a meaningful job. I want what I do to *matter* to other people. But I also want it to pay decent money. I've been out of the workforce for the past 4-5 years. And oh yeah, I only want to work between school hours!"  :roll:

Right, people spend their 20s and 30s devoting time and energy to their careers so they can eventually get to this point in their mid to late thirties when they have children. You don't just waltz into this kind of well paying, super flexible job without putting in your dues. If I'm reading her OP right, she has a JD but never worked as a lawyer and a teaching degree but worked as a teacher for a year or two? And she doesn't want to do teaching anymore anyway?

What are you expecting from this thread, OP? You're looking for a miracle worker.[/quote]
