[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an MBA and I dumped the male dominated corporate world in the late 90's after baby #2 and I set up my own consulting business. I had an office in my town, good flexibility, good and bad nannies and a very helpful husband. Within a year I was making a lot more money than in my corporate job and I had a life. I had great clients and I really enjoyed the work and I had great control over my time. We eventually had baby #3 and I continued to consult. But I know that staying in a big corporate job would have put a ton of stress on me and I'm sure I would have excited because my husband was doing very well. Once we became empty nesters I stopped consulting to pursue an art career to do something just for me. So, I needed to work to satisfy my own needs but made changes along the way to meet my family needs and I'm very happy given how it has all turned out. [/quote]
You sound like a total bad a$$! It must have been really scary to quit corporate and start your own business after baby #2. [/quote]

PP - I’m not a bad ass at all but I had a very supportive husband and a good network of possible clients. Once I was ready to get to work after baby #2 arrived I had all the work I needed. I think it was scarier for my husband given we were down to one income and about to have a new baby and you never know what can happen. [/quote]
