[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not me, but someone I knew. Very similar profile to OP. Took a generic desk job at a small company, learned the product and went into sales. Very well spoken, put together, and could travel at a moment's notice because her kids were grown. [/quote] I had a simialr situation. I started back up as a receptionist. It was a good way to get back into the groove of things. I took positions with incrementally more responsibility and eventually made the jump to a Fed job. Don't get fixated on low starting pay, it is a means to an end. Ten years later, I'm making about 3.5x that in a position I'll stay at long term. The most confidence boosting part is that if for some reason my DH loses his job or gets a serious illness, I can pay the mortgage and keep us afloat. It's a way to thank him for taking on that role and allowing me to be with my kids when they were young. [/quote]
