That one that will soo...Oh that void in my resume. That one that will soon be going on 5 years - yikes! It's depressing to think that when I do go back to work, years from now, I'll have to take some classes to catch up on the technology and even then I'll be starting from the bottom unless I can find something through "connections"... but even then, the thought of changing gears like that, after so many years, is scary! So yeah, a tough decision indeed.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to agree with swamps... babies bring such joy. For me anyway, it's the sort of happiness and fulfillment I never really felt with my career.manababieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972417886928074122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999144.post-1117028760626144042005-05-25T06:46:00.000-07:002005-05-25T06:46:00.000-07:00I love what your Paramedic Friend told you. I was...I love what your Paramedic Friend told you. I was in a similar situation -- trying to decide whether to restart my career (only a brief lull due to a move to a new state) or have another child. Well, I'm pregnant -- and NOW the places I want to work are calling me for interviews. I have no idea what I will do, go back to work or take a few years off, but like you, I wonder if anyone will still want to hire me after I've been out of my field for three to five years....Tough decisions, all around. Good luck to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999144.post-1117010232430315542005-05-25T01:37:00.000-07:002005-05-25T01:37:00.000-07:00I just gotta say regardless of the reason for you ...I just gotta say regardless of the reason for you getting pregnant, that at the other end this amazing new person will be in your life, your hubby's and your baby's. And it almost seems irrelevant the reason to begin with. At least in my mind. But then it's nearly 2AM and i'm not thinking straight. :-)swampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931752753684287007noreply@blogger.com
