[quote=Anonymous]I'd never quit my job, mainly because I'm a product of divorce. I saw what my mother went through when my dad left, and she had to re-enter the workforce after a seven year hiatus. She was working nights at Macy's and substitute teaching when she could during the day. It took her 5 years of that to get back to the type of full time teaching job with benefits that she had before I was born. In the meantime, we wore hand me downs, and when an appliance broke, it stayed broken for years. I'm also an economist. A study by Hewlitt et al. (Harvard Business Review 2005) found that if a woman takes any time out of the workforce, she comes back in at 81% of her previous salary, and if she takes 3+ years off, she comes back in at an average of 64% of her previous salary (averaged across all fields).[/quote]
