Questions about your Worklife Balance
- Can I finish my degree and raise my children at the same time?
Do you think it is more important that I
finish my degree or should I wait until my children are grown? I personal
feel that I should be working on my degree slowly so that I can advance in my
job.

- I've got a degree, but a low wage and an overwhelming loan debt. How can I change this?
I have a (mild) head injury and am on SSI for it however, I finished a
BA, in Anthropology with help from voc-rehab while on disability, but
can not find work in my field and have overwhelming school loan debt. I
am working part-time as a janitor, because I can not live on my merely
SSI and SSDI. I am in a catch 22 where I will soon lose my SSI because
of working, I have already lost my SSDI. I am incredibly frustrated
because I now have an education, but it means nothing as I am getting
the same type jobs I could have without it, ie. low wage, go nowhere
jobs. A title degree with overwhelming loan debt. I have recently
had voc-rehab agree (after many appeals) to sponsor me for a masters in
anthropology, however, I see no reason to continue --even more debt--,
and be back in this same seat again in a few years. It is much more
complicated than I can convey here. As I am one step away from
homelessness, but I have a degree! I see no way out, any comments, or thoughts would be welcome.Response Paywizard- How can I make more money and still do something that benefits the community?
I have 17 years' experience as an advertising copywriter, and 13 years' experience in the nonprofit world, doing everything from program coordination/implementation to community outreach, volunteer supervision/training, and newsletter writing. I would like to change careers to combine the many things I have done as a nonprofit volunteer with my professional advertising experience, while not being tied to a computer for 8 hours a day. I need to make a good salary (I am 46 with a wife, child and mortgage). Any suggestions on where I might look (I am not limited to nonprofits, but I would like to do something that benefits the community, people, etc.) Thanks.Response Paywizard- Do you have any information on how to develop and implement a work-life balance plan?
Response Paywizard- The corporate world is getting to me and my kids are growing up without me. I need a plan!
I use to be a big risk taker. Now, at 45, single, with 2 small children and a mortgage, I just can't take the risks I use to. I'm thinking about starting a private practice or doing SOMEthing where I get to be my own boss. The corporate world is getting to me and my kids are growing up without me. I can't seem to find the time to stop and even come up with a plan.

Response Paywizard- What advice do you have for working productively from a home office?
(Background: I have a two-year old whom we have recently started in daycare, but my wife also works from home and I find it difficult to avoid domestic interruptions/distractions and maintain focus).
