[quote=Anonymous]I would really think about what you want most out of going back to work. Is it a feeling of greater purpose? Wanting time with adults? Using your brain a different way?

Many of those can be achieved through volunteering, especially getting very involved with one or two organizations and learning how to really make a difference. I work even though I don’t “need to” and my big drivers are wanting to challenge myself and being motivated by the impact of the work I do. A lot of jobs would not be worth it to me.

I also am trying to volunteer more as my kids get older. There are women in my neighborhood who work closely with programs that assist in settling refugees and providing extra help to foster children and abused children.

If you really want to earn money I agree you would either need to start extremely small or use your network. Or re-train for something like nursing or teaching very in demand. But it sounds like that would be hard with your background. [/quote]
