[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, this has been been a very interesting thread to read.  I'm glad you started it (and have a healthy relationship with it!).

I initially was in the OMG Q-U-I-T camp.  Life is too short to be that miserable if you don't need it.

I think shifted into the, well, stick it out for a year and see what happens as you adjust, start looking for something else after a year.

But after reading more, and your update, I'm back to Q-U-I-T.   You've already been out of the workforce- you won't even put this on your resume.  It's just a blip.  A nice (or not so nice!) interlude that gave you valuable info on your priorities and what's important to you.  As money isn't really an issue (even if god forbid something did happen to DH), I think you are ideally suited to explore typically lower paying, more meaningful work in the non profit world.  If you're already volunteering a lot, finding part time work in those fields, where you have a passion, could be your goal.  You don't have ot be the exec director of a non profit.  You can be a valuable, paid contributor in an area that brings you joy.

Yes, you're in a great position, and yes, lots of other people aren't.  That's ok.  That's the way life works.  These passion projects of yours could help other people plenty, while giving you more structure and employment.  [/quote]

Op tell us more about this job you have? How did u get it? Is it likely the only corporate job u can jump to or do you have more leads?[/quote]
