This is criminal. I DO NOT understand how an admin working less than full time can make 100k. This is one of the main problems the govt should fix on the road to financial recovery.

Self employed lawyer. I work 20-30 hours per week and usually make $100+ per year. I can take all the leave I want to because I work for myself, but I don't have paid vacation because I work for myself. I wouldn't trade the flexibility I have for more money and less flexibility.

I'll start, sales. Love it, great pay, and super flexible.

What industry?

Lawyer with a boutique firm - I leave at 5 nearly every day, have flexibility about working from home, interesting mix of work, great salary, and short commute. Some weeks I work hard, others I don't -- kind of depends on what's happening on my cases right now. But I enjoy what I do and compared to some of my colleagues at other firms (big and small) or even at government, I work a lot fewer hours. I realize that I am lucky.

Transactional lawyer, I work mostly from home part-time - about 24-28 hours/week. I go to the office a few times a month.

Salary + bonus last year was $120K.

Psychologist. About $75k with a mix of interesting work through a combination of my day job at a university and my evening private practice. In my university job I have summers off to lounge by the pool and good benefits.

Tenured prof, humanities. $85K. Super flex schedule, good bennies, vibrant college life, intelligent colleagues, and friendly office. Summers to research/write. Travel 2x/year to conferences and catch up with grad school friends. Love it, though can be painful getting tenure at a good school in a desirable location.

Software engineer. Love it.

Management consulting for small company in federal sector. I specialize in IT portfolio management and governance. Love my company. Flexibility depends on client. Love my current client and it's flexible. Other ones have sucked - bad environment and no ability to work from home. $108k but getting ready to put it for promotion so hopefully a good bump up then.

I'm in a policy position in the federal
Government (law degree).

publisher- extremely flexible as long as we make deadlines- 150 or so

I work for a trade association for an industry that is incredibly family-friendly. There is a lot of travel (2-4 nights monthly), but I can bring the family with me (to places they want to go). Daycare is across the street, my commute is ten minutes, and even though we don't have a formal work from home policy, my boss is good about letting me quietly work from home on sick days, snow days, etc.

I am underpaid ($80k where most of my colleagues are at least $120k), but the flexibility is worth it for us.

I should note that I paid my dues before I had children: a lot of hard work, long hours, and loyalty to my boss. I don't think I could have as much leeway if I was a new hire who hadn't proven herself yet.
