[quote=Anonymous]Good luck OP! I was one of the harsher posters earlier, but I was really just projecting. I understand what you are going through.

At this point I think you ought to try to detach from your husbands career - it will probably never be any different. Focus on what you can do.

Taking on a bigger role where you are now is the best thing you can do. Bloom where you are planted, and show people what you can do. Give it 6 months and then start thinking about how you can transition to something more stable or more highly paid. A law firm may not be realistic, but there ought to be jobs that will be decent. You aren't going to be partner - but did you really want that?

On a positive note, two mommy trackers I work with at my low paid nonprofit jobs have just transitioned to better jobs at probably a 50% pay increase. It looks like I will be doing so soon as well (fingers crossed). It can happen! But unless you really re-invest in your current job you may not be able to pull it off. [/quote]
