[quote=Anonymous]I have quite a few friends I've made in our neighborhood/community who are SAHMs that now have all their kids in school and are struggling with what to do. It's a hard thing to leave the workforce for 6-10 years and then go back. Most of them no longer want to do what they went to college for. So, in my small sample, some have gone back to school for new degrees, some went back to full time teaching (so many of the women I know personally were teachers), some substitute teach for a little extra cash, and some have just stayed home and do lots of volunteering. I only know one woman in my small sample who rejoined the workforce in a similar job and at a similar level to where she left it. If your family has enough money to live comfortably, I can see how it's hard to summon the motivation to overcome all of this. [/quote]
