Dear H1978:

Thank you for correcting me. I am glad you were and are assertive in your marriage and still and always, I admire your position on having children (a passion of mine: responsible parenting!)

So, I understand that indeed your marriage is well and it is the career part of your life where you are lost. I looked at your original post on this thread again. You mentioned a few things that you are looking for or want career wise: be your own boss, and in so not conforming to others. You mentioned making money, disliking commuting and not liking leaving your dog at home when you go to work. You also wrote: “I thought I would always do something more corporate/managerial or creative!” So, do you want to re-enter the corporate world only be in a higher up position as a manager, leading others in projects and expressing your creativity in the planning and putting projects into action?
