I switched jobs lol
I started as an intern, minimum wage.
3 months later I got a job for corporate America and was offered a starting salary of 80k. Got an annual raise bringing my salary to 86k. After a year at that salary I switched companies and starting salary was 107k

How does one become a software developer? If ypu had a highschool aged daughter who is good with computers but has never even heard of software, what would you look into? What degree do you need, how would she know if this is something she can go for?

These types of jobs generally involve working with kids. You have to know yourself. Some people get burnt out working with kids all day and it’s hard to have patience for their own kids when they come home from work.

For a lawyer, depending on what your plan is, it's not even necessary to work crazy hard for the first few years. I worked for a solo practitioner for one year, until my second dc was born. In retrospect, I would have been better off continuing to work for him for another year or two. But working for a solo for 2 or 3 years is not the same as working for a large firm. And he was frum, so I had y"t off. And this was many years ago. Nowadays you can probably work from home at least for some of the time.

Cough cough I am over 20 years working in public accounting and I think it's fantastic for a frum mother. I don't work in tax (although I did for about 8 years). Funnily writing this on 4/15 but there are SOO many jobs outside of tax. We don't have any busy season in my firm or line of work. I work from home, have flexible hours etc.

Do you work for yourself, if I may ask?

That’s true that’s why we all need to make choices, you can’t always have everything all at once.

What does this mean? it’s always been my dream to be a social worker but life took me off course… now I was thinking to just get a masters in education because it’s quicker and I’ll start earning money sooner but education really doesn’t pull my interest…
What is a social worker in healthcare? Is that a regular social worker?

Wouldn’t that be nice? I think many mothers would choose SAHM if they had the choice unfortunately this isn’t realistic nowadays

It means working in a hospital or nursing facility. More case management then therapy

I’m a PA and my job is flexible. Due to the nature of my specific job, I can call out whenever I want, leave to go to a doctors appointment in middle of the day last minute etc. I have a complex because my salary is 123K with great benefits but feels like we’re just making it. Married with one baby. My husband is learning.
