CindyH: Motherhood Prepares For Career After Kids
LukeB: What employer is going to hire someone whose resume only has "18 year parent" on it?
Cindy H: I'm back in the work force after 15 years at home with my kids. Who's going to hire me?? Good golly, Luke, I've been a parent not hiding in a cave in the backwoods! I've kept up with my writing skills and improved them while at home with my kids. I wrote for non-profits and volunteered all over town. Now, when I need sources for a story I've tons of contacts. Contacts I wouldn't have made slaving away 9-5 in a windowless office.
I haven't given up my economic power; I've invested in four healthy young men.
