[quote=Anonymous]I live in the DC area and my commute is 90 minutes both ways. Sometimes longer. I have elementary children at home and it's hard. I leave most days by 6 and not home until bedtime most nights. I miss sports practices and school meetings regularly. That said- I love my job and I don't necessarily have another option at this time. My DH takes the kids to all activities and is amazingly supportive of my career. I think if you really want that higher level position you should at least try for it. It's one year. I also don't believe that it hurts kids to see their mother going for and achieving difficult things. You got a masters for a reason. I also agree with other posters that administrative staff can and do move up all the time in my industry. It may take a little longer but educated and motivated employees get noticed and appropriately moved. Not sure if my post helps or not because I think you're in a good situation either way. [/quote]
