[quote=Anonymous][quote]If working as a greeter at Walmart or a barista at Starbucks or the check-in person at the gym or if she’s really lucky and gets a job answering phones somewhere - if that’s fun and success, then be open-minded and debate away. For people who actually have these jobs, I don’t think anyone is calling it “fun”.

It doesn’t have anything to do with income or investing in your family (but nice try). It’s the cluelessness and privilege to think anyone just hops back into the job market after 20 years and funds something “fun”. [/quote]

This is silly and totally beside the point of the original question.

I don't think OP is going back to the C-level or expects to, but if you keep up some sort of network and your skills, you can go back to meaningful work.

I am not SAHM - I work full-time and will be doing so for the next 15 years until my youngest should be finishing college.  I don't intend to retire-retire. I plan to leave govt service when I'm eligible, then go private sector and still make $$.  Eventually my dream job looks like the toner delivery lady in my building.  She walks around and installs toner all day - you get to talk to people, get exercise, and it doesn't require a lot of deep thought. Sounds like a perfect job in my '60's.[/quote]
