Yes! Definitely. We've both been trying to figure out how we can get jobs that have us home by 5:00.

Yes, I'm still trying to figure out what I would like to do. I would definately like to have something that gets me home early.

Never thought I would but, actually, yes. We've decided that I am going back to school full-time so I can finish my MBA in May and be able to move forward in my career quicker. At the time time, not having to work AND do school part-time (which is what I'd been doing up to now) frees up time for DH and I to actually see each other now!

I would love to change careers and get out of the city but its kind of a golden handcuffs thing. If I start a new career I'll be at the bottom again and making 1/2 as much as I'm making now. And I really don't want to make less money. So for now I'm stuck and just hope DH keeps getting good raises so I can just quit lol.

I am half way in the process of it right now...but I started the schooling before we were married (mainly to get raises, but now I may actually use it)

I always thought my next career would be a SAHM--but as of last month we decided differently.
DH and I are starting the process of taking over the family business(shhh don't tell work- they don't know yet) so within the next few months I start my next career as a business owner

Definitely, I am back in school and am so happy/ I want that degree now, someday I will be a Mom and my children will depend on me, so I want to make sure I have something to fall back on.

Yes! I want to go back to school for teaching. The amount of schooling and prep work is daunting, but I think the reward, lifestyle, and enrichment would make it worth it in the end.
