Do you want to return to the field you were in before? I was a legal assistant for 14 years. I loved my job for 13 years. I quit because I grew to hate my job, dreaded going to work everyday. I will never be a legal assistant again, if I ever return to work.
if returning to work happens in the next 4.5 years, yes i will go back to my field.
if i extend my time out of work until the youngest finishes high school, i will likely go get my masters in an in-demand field when the kids are in hig
I'm staring my own business as a consultant in my field and hope to never work for someone else again. I will always do some sort of work though. If I can't find enough consultant work I will probably try teaching CTE classes in my field (marketing/design
I was working on my Ph.D. in history, so I didn't have a job and it's not something I could jump back into. Sometimes I think about going back to school in the same or a different field, but I'm not sure that's what I want. I don't see myself

I honestly don't know if I'll go back into the same field. I was a substitute teacher, and one year of schooling away from my teaching credential. I still think it's my passion, but it would be hard to do 1 year of school + student teaching + having to ta
I cannot see doing that job now that I have kids. Just too many weirdos and too many ways to get at your family, KWIM? Only takes one crazy family who lives in our town, going to school with my
I am planning on finishing my education degree and going back to work someday, so no, I won't be going back into the HR field again.

I really don't know yet. I was a teacher and sometimes I miss it and think I want to go back. Other times I am not sure. If I do go back, I will have to get a Masters degree. It is not required but it s very hard to get a teaching job in my area without o
probably not. The hours are awful and pretty unperdictable. If i did it wouldnt be full time at all and it would have to be on my terms which im pretty sure i could swing.
If I go back, it will probably be in a different field. My field is rapidly changing and even now, there have been a lot of advancements since I left 3 years ago. I liked it, but I don't think I liked it enough to go through all the education

If we absolutely needed a high-ish second income for some reason, I would return to my previous field. If not, I would prefer to do something more creative or open my own boutique or something in line with my interests.
