[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You were given the chance to go to the world’s top schools and you stayed home for 15 years?  [/quote]

NP here with degrees from 2 top schools. To each their own.  Also stayed home (or very part-time) for 15 years --  zero regrets. Everything I studied has been relevant to raising my own children & making a difference through volunteer and non-profit work. Our household earning/saving goals continue to be met without my income, and we have avoided having strangers in our home constantly, especially to raise our children. Tbh, in seeing what is happening with kids' mental health & school behavior, I think every family welcoming a child into the world needs to consider the needs of the child first. Having a parent fully available to a young child is a gift. My degrees are still on the wall to fall back on if needed; I only get one chance with my kids. (Granted I was blessed not to need loans for my education. And those who paid my tuition bills support my SAHM decision).

OP, your time is valuable & you may not need benefits, so look for positions that best mesh with your family needs and maximize hourly rate over all the other perks. Perhaps a temp agency?  That way both sides can decide if it is a "fit" and maybe you can make connections for when other positions open. There are plenty of jobs that don't require hard skills, and your education proves you are a quick learner. Good luck! [/quote]
