[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I also have a very similar background and circumstances. If anything, I think non-profits are lucky to have highly educated, high-achieving employees who can help them do good because their work is so necessary. Try to shift your focus away from your pay and to the fact that you are fortunate to have coworkers you enjoy and a mission that you believe in.

Also, research supports the fact that the happiest and most fulfilled people are those with strong relationships with others. Use your free time to nurture your friendships and build new ones. Far better than spending time pushing papers on your desk!

Finally, if you really want to pursue your career, volunteer in an area relevant to your career interests and when your kids are older, pour your energy into your career. Seek out older women as mentors and hear their stories. I'm sure you'll be inspired. [b]My friend's mom took time off to raise her 3 kids and once they were grown reinvented herself as a businesswoman in her 40s and worked her way back up again. She is a happy working woman in her early 60s.

This is what my own mom did.  Great advice.

Unless you meet your husband young, who the heck is done raising kids in her 40s?
