[quote=Anonymous]DH is the lobbyist.  Salaries at his firm vary depending on the lobbyists senority and book of clients.  They can make anywhere between $120,000-$1M+.  Most days, his job is usually 9-5 or 6.  However, he entertains or goes to an event (like a fundraiser) about once a week on average.  As appropriate, I sometimes attend these events too (usually not more than once or twice a month).  He also travels about 5 days every 2-3 month.  While lobbying isn't necessarily his "dream job," he does feel extremely grateful that he's able to make the amount of money he does and still spend a lot of time with our kids.  Most lawyers probably have to work 20+ hours a week more to earn what he does.

As for me, I have an odd schedule in that my hours are inconsitent.  While most weeks I spend a lot more time with my kids than at work, there are enough times when I wouldn't be able to pick my kids up at daycare/aftercare by 6:00 to make having a nanny a necessity for me.  I could make a lot more money if I switched jobs to something that was on a partnership-track, but I'm not willing to sacrifice my time with the kids for the extra money.  However, I would probably consider this if something happened and DH no longer had his high salary.[/quote]
