[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I volunteer for a church that helps refugees. Literally all Ukrainian women who got the parole status during the war are gainfully employed in their 40-50s.  Music teachers, system analysts, contract specialists in large banks, elderly care, nursing. A whole variety of professions . Earnings range from 30k/year to 120k/year after 2-4 years in the US, and these are women with less than perfect English.

I myself went back to office after 10 years SAH and make close to 180k five years in. My mom is 74 and she uses MS Office without any issues

[b]Having a job is not as much of an achievement as many working moms try to present here.[/b] Most people are capable to re-enter the job market - it’s the US, not the war-torn Ukraine, ladies ! [/quote]

Just the way you say this. I think many working women especially those who are ambitious think of working as having a career - longevity, exposure to new and different challenges, building credibility in their field, achieving a level of mastery - as opposed to just ‘landing a job.’ Getting a job isn’t interesting at all. Being seen as an expert or The Expert in an industry or field is impressive. [/quote]
