In California on a business trip last month, I met a mom with two kids who’d graduated from business school in the late 1990s. She’d been home with the kids for five years, she explained, but was looking to go back. I assumed she’d return to the field she’d entered after business school. "I want to go into something non-profit," she said instead.
Now, I firmly believe that nonprofit careers are tremendously rewarding, but my heart sank a bit from the expression on my new friend’s face. I suspected I knew what she was thinking. Over the years, rye studied working and stay-at-home morns, I’ve met dozens of successful former lawyers and businesswomen in a range of profitable fields who lose their confidence after staying home for a few years. They assume they can’t return to their original fields, despite their successful track records. They erroneously think going into teaching, social work or nonprofit foundations will be
A. she majored in business back at school.
B. she would like to start a non-profit career.
C. she decided to move back to her own home.
D. she had stayed home without working for 5 years.
Last night I had a frightening experience. I was eating dinner at the fast-food restaurant where I normally go when I’m in a hurry, the manager announced that everybody had to evacuate the building. The place was crowded and that made the situation dangerous, as everyone was determined to get out first. To make matters worse, an elderly woman, who must have weighted 300 pounds, had just come up to the entrance, which was also the only exit. In the meantime, I remembered that I had left my purse in the chair I had been occupying when the announcement was made. It was certainly not convenient to return and get it, but I had to do it. When I finally got outside, I saw that the police bomb squad had arrived and the men were studying the area. They eventually determined that it was all a false alarm and the crowd dispersed.
