When
I
saw
the
description
of
my
position
I
had
the
feeling
of
"This
is
my
dream
job!"
When
I
interviewed
salary
never
came
up
and
when
I
was
offered
the
position
I
took
it
first
w/o
asking
about
the
salary!
SCARY
RIGHT?
I
wanted
the
job
because
it
was
so
me!
I
got
the
job
and
the
salary
is
great!
WHEW!

Very
little.
I
had
left
a
great
job
for
the
opportunity
to
stay
home
and
care
for
my
daughter.
I
found
out
I
wasn't
completely
satisfied
being
a
stay
at
home
mom,
nor
did
I
want
to
give
up
being
home
with
my
daughter.
I
finally
came
across
a
solution
to
start
my
own
online
business
-
www.eNutritionServices.com
-
that
has
worked
out
great!
I
can
keep
a
foot
in
the
nutrition
world
while
still
staying
home
to
care
for
my
(now)
two
girls:)
Brigitte 16th Apr
I
refused
to
bear
my
husband
a
child
unless
I
could
stay
home,
so
we
sacrificed
my
salary.
However,
I
wasn't
making
a
heck
of
a
lot
anyway!
Neither
of
us
has
much
ambition
career-wise,
and
we
don't
travel
and
have
modest
needs,
so
we
get
by
well
enough
on
my
husband's
salary.
Peace
of
mind,
mental
and
physical
health,
and
life
at
home
far
outweighed
any
benefits
a
big,
money-making
career
would
have
for
us.
MamaLia 15th Apr
Right
now
it
had
everything
to
do
with
it.
I
used
to
be
a
sales
associate
for
a
large
accessory
company
and
also
for
an
even
larger
body
store.
But
I
wasn't
working
as
many
hours
and
the
pay
was
definately
smaller.
So
now
I'm
a
security
officer
at
a
mall.
Pay
is
better
and
its
full-time.
I'm
a
single
mother...
Money
i
smore
important
to
me
right
now.
boatbride 15th Apr
It
didn't
have
much
to
do
with
my
initial
choice
to
be
a
lawyer
but
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
where
I
am
now
and
where
I
will
be
next
Real World Martha 14th Apr
Not
much.
I
needed
something
I
could
do
that
would
allow
me
to
homeschool
my
youngest.
I
work
with
the
Pampered
Chef
and
it
allows
me
to
make
my
own
schedule
so
it's
good
for
now.
DebR 14th Apr
Not
much
at
the
start.
I
always
knew
I
wanted
to
be
in
the
TV
Biz,
so
for
15
years
I
have.
The
LEVEL
is
where
it
gets
tricky.
I
could
have
stayed
in
NYC
and
climbed
super
high
on
the
'ladder',
or
move
my
career
to
where
I
live,
CT
-
drop
the
commute,
drop
the
huge
salary-
and
be
a
great
mom
who
is
home
each
night
and
spends
mornings
with
the
kids.
(
guess
which
one
I
chose).
Funny thing though, I want a new career altogether now. Now I know what I was meant to do. So really, money is holding me back. I cant afford to drop my job and start my own biz. That is a dream for now.
Lylah M. Alphonse 14th Apr
Not
at
all
--
I
was
one
of
those
freaky
kids
who
knew
what
she
wanted
to
do
before
she
even
got
to
college,
so
I
started
working
on
my
career
when
I
was
still
a
teenager.
caramelsugarberry38 14th Apr
When
you
have
children
-
money
is
always
a
factor.
I
didn't
have
children
when
I
chose
my
career
and
the
money
was
attractive,
but
as
soon
as
I
had
children
my
time
was
more
of
a
premuim
to
me
and
no
matter
how
much
money
I
wanted
-
time
was
always
the
thing
to
fight
for.
The
money
comes
if
you
know
how
to
negotiate
with
employers.
But
time,
time
seems
to
always
be
the
challenge
for
people
with
children.
momof2lovelies 14th Apr
Initially,
not
much
of
a
factor
early
in
my
career.
As
I
climbed
the
ladder
money
had
everything
to
do
with
why
I
stayed.
