[quote=Anonymous]In general, one returning to the workforce shoudl expect a lower salary. Women who took any time at all out will on average return to the workforce at 81% of their previous salary and for 3+ years out, the figure is 64% of their previous salary (Hewlett et al., Harvard Business Review, 2005). That's an average across all fields. In some fields, it's hard to break back in at all (In the sciences, skills that are 5 years out of date are almost worthless). I second the volunteer suggestion, but people are correct that the PTA isn't the way to go. There are TONS of non-profits in this area, many of who are dying for people with marketing, IT, legal, or development skills. If you volunteer to work for them for free, they won't say no. Once you get a few projects completed, you resume will look better, and you'll have a few contacts.[/quote]
