[quote=Anonymous]Being mediocre is great! I gave up a partner track consultant gig to be “in house” where I feel no pressure to try for a director promotion. I could run my mid-size department while working 40hrs a week until I retire in 15-18 years. My salary:effort/time commitment ratio is where I want it to be. I could earn a lot more, but I would work a lot more and be stressed. I have never been super thin or beautiful. Pretty, well groomed, stylish, maybe. But as I age I am ok with it. I see women whose sense of self is very tied up in the fact that they are thin or beautiful and when they lose it with age, it’s hard for them emotionally. We have a modest house in a neighborhood full of similar modest houses. Our kids go to public school. I feel no pressure to keep up with anyone. Mediocre flies under the radar. I am doing continent with my mediocre, low drama, low stress life. [/quote]
