My husband is seriously considering enlisting in the Air Force to be an air traffic controller. We would like to know what you think about the Air Force and having a family on or off base while in service. Would you recommend the Air Force? Why or why not? Any thoughts would be welcome! Thank you!

I've been a SAHM for 12 years now. I am an official "retiree" at another job (I'm 52) that I stand a GOOD chance of losing or having my pension/benefits reduced by them declaring bankruptcy. My kids are still pretty small 10/11 and my husband works alot so I need to make a new career work with my home life. Teaching comes to mind because of the benefits and the fact that it would work with my life pretty easily. Now the big question, I am so nervous about this. Is it crazy to do this when there have been so many cutbacks?? I am...

Current situation: After 15 years into your gig you have a job that pays six figures, is a fairly easy job. You're tenured and there is very little chance of getting whacked since there are at least a dozen hires below you. You get breaks and summers off. Your work environment is supportive and nurturing and your boss rocks. However, you're exceptionally bored at your job and the passion you used to have has been snuffed out. You feel like your talents and skills could be more beneficial in another field and you simply cannot imagine...

I worked with a broker a couple of years ago - a friend of a friend - to find our current health care plan. Recently, she called to set up a meeting to see if we needed to switch plans etc. with all the changes happening in health care. It was nice of her to be proactive. We met, went over various options and both decided it would be in our best interest to stay with what we have. My question is, how does she make money? If we aren't switching, does she make anything with us just staying where we are? I feel badly though she was the one who...

I seem to struggle in finding rewarding work, or just work I can somewhat enjoy. I know we are all different, but I'm looking for thoughts, inspiration and ideas. So, besides being a parent, we all love that (most of the time! Haha). do you have an income earning job that you love? What is it, and why do you love it?

For years I had "working mother's" guilt. Now, I'm finally able to stay home, and I have "walking away from my career" guilt. Has anyone else ever experienced this? I had a high profile career in the entertainment news business and a very nice salary. After I left in January, my company actually tried to get me to come back with a promotion, even higher salary, and some flexibility with my schedule. I said no, but I'm having some sort of weird guilt and I don't know why. Yes, we could have used the money. No, we're not rich, but we're...
