[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you just take a leave of absence while you raise your child? Big law is NOT worth it. The $$$ is not worth it. [/quote] Because I pay ~7k a month to student loans. Mistakes were made.[/quote] Oh, I'm sorry--I didn't realize that. How many years do you have left on that loan?[/quote] About 11 months! :) Minimum payment is less, but I try to dump in as much as I can. [/quote] That’s great! So you’re not “stuck forever,” there’s an end in sight. I would pay off your loans and, as you come to the end of your loan balance, start looking for something in-house, government, etc. Something to give you closer to regular working hours. It sucks and is really hard now, but I think with lots of help (nanny, but also cleaning service, meal delivery service, etc. if you’re not already doing it), you can get through it and move on to greener pastures. Good luck![/quote]
