I took a 6 year break from 2003 to 2009 staying home full time to raise my children. I thought I was never going back to work and did not keep up with any technology. My husband eventually was laid off and I felt I needed to go back to work. My first year/job back was difficult. Pay was significantly lower. However, being a stay at home mom for me was far harder than working for a company. It was also nice to be back in the adult world and using my brain. After a year, my previous boss contacted me and I ended up going back to my old job, but working remotely as we had moved for my husband's job. I am not advancing rapidly, I have more of a job than a career, but I would never trade the 6 years I had at home with my children for the best job in the world. They are only young once. When they start school, the years fly by. If you can financially afford to stay home it could be the best thing you will ever do. Good luck with your choices!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
