I had always worked as a server or in entry level jobs. I applied for an entry level job in customer service a few years ago and got the job which has turned into an awesome career. It's not related at all to my degree but I really enjoy it and continue to advance within the company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-have-a-career#post-2542628 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:33:51 +0000 GreenThumb 2542628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked in environmental consulting for about 11 years before getting married and having DD. I SAH and am currently pregnant. So I've been out of my "career" for 3 years already and am likely to be out until the littles are all in school full time, so maybe another 5-6 years. I'm not sure what kind of job I'll go back to, but at that point I doubt it will be a career-type job. Kind of disappointing since I have an advanced degree, but I chose staying home for my family over continuing my career. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-have-a-career#post-2542606 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:21:43 +0000 avivoca 2542606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>in both jobs I have worked, there has been no opportunity for advancement. I'm still working entry level at my non-profit because there is literally nowhere else to go. I feel like I don't have a career. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-have-a-career#post-2542601 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:18:37 +0000 Boogs 2542601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@whiskers: Pretty much the same as you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-have-a-career#post-2542598 Thu, 05 May 2016 19:13:21 +0000 whiskers 2542598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>🙋 I have two degrees, but no job that has been on the career track. I've been a SAHM for 3.5 years and will be for 1.5-3 more. I'm eager to get on a career track, but really can't until LOs are in school more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-have-a-career#post-2542572 Thu, 05 May 2016 18:57:27 +0000 Boogs 2542572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you ever not actually had a career?</p> <p>DH was talking about someone yesterday and said he didn't think think person really ever had a career, despite being older, and about to enter a second marriage.</p> <p>I worked before we had kids, but wouldn't necessarily call it a career, so reminded him that I don't know that I've ever had one! It made me realize, it's kind of scary, because I'll have to work again at some point. </p>
