[quote=Anonymous]I'm a journalist and having children in your 20s in that field is a non starter. You just can't do the demands of the job. The news doesn't stop at 5 so you can leave to pick up your child from the day care center. So I waited until my late 30s, when I was in charge of the department as well as a highly valued employee they wanted to keep. That allowed me a lot of flexibility. It also allowed one of us (DH) to cut back and go freelance, so he was home with the kids. We're just finishing up the high school years now in our late 50s. Kids will be heading off to college, and we're winding down to retirement. Perfect for us! [/quote]
