[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have grown daughters, both will be going away next fall to college.  I am trying to get back into medical sales after being out for 10 years, and it is a little scary, but you can't lose your selling skills once you have them.  I campaigned in 2010 and those skills come back just like riding a bike.  
Try to stay positive.  Think about all of the benefits a hiring manager has with an older woman who has grown children, no more taking sick days every week during the fall and winter to take care of kids.  She can work long hours and not have to worry about how to pick her children up at day care before they start charging $1 / minute, how to get those children fed and get homework finished, no concern about maternity leave, and no more concern about overnight travel.  If they hire a younger woman she has much more of a chance of getting pregnant and eventually quitting her job than the older moms do.  I am thrilled at the thought of returning back to work, and I plan to invest just as much of myself in my job as I did before.  Now, I just have to find a hiring manager to take a chance on me.[/quote]

OMG, your thinking is so antiquated!
Now a days, working women have husbands who also shoulder the domestic duties.  My DH does as much (and sometimes more) than I do.  Additionally, MANY women stay in the work force, especially educated ones with earning potential.

Grandma, this is 2011, not 1981.  Wake up.[/quote]
