[quote=Anonymous]You work part time because you like the flexibility and family friendly aspect. Are you prepared to give that up? Do you want to give that up? I had a career for 15 years after I got my MBA from a top 10 school. When my kids reached elem and middle school and my DH was making a lot of money I took the flexible and family friendly route and ran a small substance abuse non profit. I probably made $20 an hour working 30 hours a week. I loved the work and being closer to home but I always wondered what my career would have been like if I stayed on the corporate track. While I have some regrets, being near my kids during those critical through HS years was a real plus in addition to feeling very good about the work I was doing. I would like to have been a C-Suite person but things have worked out incredibly well for my marriage, my kids, my DH's career and I did very good work for the non profit that I'm very proud of.
