[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"This PP yet again.  It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if someone asked about my childcare plans. And your last question is just silly. I went back to work because I wanted to and was a great fit for the job, not for the money (obviously, we could afford for me to stay home so it wasn't about $$.) Of course I explained the reasons why I was getting back to work in the interview--why wouldn't I?"

Why did you go back after 11 years if not for the extra cash? You know, we all work for money if we have paid jobs.[/b]

Former SAHM again.  I don't mean this in a snarky way--I am sincerely confused.  Do you not understand that there are lots of reasons to work other than money?  I went back because I felt like it was time, I was ready to, my kids are older, and a great opportunity presented itself in my field, at an agency I like for a cause I feel strongly about; so I went back to "save the world," so to speak.  This particular opportunity wasn't likely to open up again at this organization, so I struck while the iron was hot.

To another PP who asked: yes, I work full-time, and for a non-profit.  I'm in the same general field as I was in before leaving, but a different organization.
