[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be pretty shocked if someone out of the workforce for 15 years could find a job paying anything close to 60-70k.[/quote]

Op here, some judgmental people but of course it’s DCUM.  To some of the posters, DW is a speech therapist working part-time.  I know that she can transition to full time and make $50k - her skills are current and demand is high.  And yes, I do help at home with cooking, laundry, cleaning etc, and we also have a cleaning person every 3 weeks.  I never said I wanted a divorce either, I just need he to make more.  We don’t spend frivolously but there are still lots of expenses, especially with college looming.  I’ve done what I can to earn more and took a stressful GS-15 job as a result, but I’m 15 years in towards a pension so not going to leave for a private sector job.[/quote]
Can she take on additional clients to make more money without going full time? I agree that salary is a bit low for a speech therapist. That’s less than I make as a part time special ed para. She can also look in to schools which give ample time in summer as well as the same breaks as your children. [/quote]

Agree about looking into jobs with the school system - I stayed home until our youngest went to kindergarten, then took a part time job with MCPS. I’ve increased my hours over the last few years and now that I’m a permanent employee I also have our family’s vision and dental insurance. It’s really nice to be on the same schedule as the kids and not have to worry who is covering this snow day or that early release day. I hope to go full time in the next few years but that’s slowed a bit by sorting out some issues with our youngest, who has special needs.[/quote]
