[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My career. Gave up FT work from 34-42 while we raised 3 kids born in 5 years, chased hers from DC to SF, to Seattle with long trips or short postings (depending on perspective) all over South East Asia and Africa. Her career exploded and she's now a SME in an extremely desirable filed. All my opportunities vanished because I was on the sideline. Started out in a whole new field but did so at 44 so probably going nowhere. It was a bad idea.[/quote] +1. I assume you are a man. The work force has no tolerance for men who take time off to raise children. Not much for women either, I know, but even much less for men[/quote] Look around. Most people start their own small biz once 45 or 50 yo. They are tired of the Bs office politics, don’t want to relocate, no promotion spots open for years, etc. You don your own thing. Always be networking. [/quote]
