Seems that as soon as we shied away from the 9 to 5 era things went downhill. Probably just a coincidence but who knows...Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08397695241403505531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22481322.post-73488081830094678562009-10-09T16:40:58.816-04:002009-10-09T16:40:58.816-04:00BIG fan of the "part time work for full time ...BIG fan of the "part time work for full time pay" revolution. My husband is a college prof. We spent years and tens of thousands of dollars and many months job searching and resume building so that he could have a job that allows for some flexibility and summers off (at the expense of a salary significantly lower than his private sector counterparts). I spent more than a decade working cubicle jobs so that I could get the experience to build up a small consulting business and be a work from home mom, when we chose to start a family. We struggle for 2 years to have a baby, get our little girl, I quit the cubie job, and life is goo...waaaiiittt, whhhhaaaaatttt? Recession? U.S. have no money no mo? Our country's broke?<br /><br />Lots of effort, planning, time, and debt. And here we are in, the The Great Recession, and he's about to take a major pay cut or lose his job, student loan deferment is no more, house was foreclosed on cause we couldn't sell it or make the payments any longer, and there's no work at all in my field. Sometimes I think we should have stuck out the 9 to 5s (or 8 to 7s as it were) cause at least then the bills get paid. Lame, I'm a bummer.<br /><br />~Anon CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22481322.post-37764367815792532882009-10-09T15:36:45.684-04:002009-10-09T15:36:45.684-04:00You have my vote!!You have my vote!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090868980243407713noreply@blogger.com
