You're still young enough, so do you.At least you have the OPTION to be a housewife >.>
You didn't actually think he's a somewhat eccentric fellow named Galen who lives in Ireland did you? His name is Ryan, and he works at a Target in Fayetteville.
ape, maybe you need to reverse your way of coming to a job/profession. are you at a place where you can make less money in order to pursue a passion of yours? i know you love photography and animals, for example. have you thought of pursuing a job/career that way? if so, what has stopped you from doing it? money? time requirements?
have you ranked the things you want most in life? for example, i had an opportunity to do copy editing for a newspaper here. however, the requirements were nights, weekends, and holidays. i was not willing to sacrifice time with spange in order to accept that job. i ended up finding something that didn't use my degree but allowed me to work 7-3 so i could be wiht spange on nights, weekends, holidays.
i suggest taking a good chunk of time to really list what your passions are, and then rank what you do not want to sacrifice in order to find a job that suits your passion. sometimes people work JUST a job (not a lot of hours, money, work at home, etc.) for other things outside of work that are more important to them. others really enjoy the career drive and want the money/title/hours/experience. it's entirely a personal decision, but it's a huge one, and not something that's USUALLY found the first or second try.
good luck, toots...i hate to see you unhappy with something in your life. it's too short to feel so "stuck".
i for one love my job. first week on the job and i spent 50 hours in my lab. this will be commonplace for the next 4-5 years. i jump out of bed in the morning, can't wait to cycle in, get my work done, interact with my peers and colleagues, and do it all again tomorrow. my impetus is knowing that someday somehow what i do will make a difference to 1 or 1 million people. never mind the failed experiments or red tape or funding scares, this is what i was meant to do.

Also, what's work?

No I don't have that option, nor do I want it...
Working for the man is not doing anything to help anyone but the man.
Damn the man.
You could dye your hair black, tape your eyes back, and start using broken English and you could enter a new career path as a Thai lady boy.

If you do what you like, you will be poor (See artists), if you do whatever for money youll be unhappy, have little free time and probably get heart disease (See the medical industry: nurses).

I dunno where abouts you are, but nurses up here don't make a lot of money unless you have years of experience. Teachers, however, make even less money up here. It's sad really. I don't think either that of those jobs, people do them for the money, but for the satisfaction of helping others.

Registered nurses constitute the largest health care occupation, with 2.5 million jobs...
Registered nurses are projected to generate about 587,000 new jobs over the 2006-16 period, one of the largest numbers among all occupations; overall job opportunities are expected to be excellent...
Median annual earnings of registered nurses were $57,280 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between $47,710 and $69,850. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $40,250, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $83,440.
Ummm, corporate accounting is working for the man. You probably are the man. Unless you mean the gender in which case: There is nothing wrong particularly with being a housewife, especially if you have kids. You arent working for your husband you are working with/for your FAMILY [on a side note I dont understand why american couples never refer to each other as family]. Think of it as full time multidisciplinary management, you are the lord and master of the house, you supervise and control the acquisition and disposition of food, you have complete control of all interior and exterior design, maintenance, and improvement. You control the budget. You are in charge of the psychological, and to an extent physhical well being of the various members of the household, etc.
The only thing you arent, is absent and under some stranger's complete control for 8-12 hours per day for a marginal amount of money and a lot of stress.
Probably has something to do with the rise of suburban culture and feminists. If you owned a large house/land, had servants, and made some portion of your income from the enterprises in your home/estate you'd see just how respectable a job it is.
You are disparaging any number of women who do these things on top of that. Yes, there are the lazy ones who just lay about all day and spend money, but there is some number that treat it like the things outlined above. They are not servants to their husband, because everyone would be up shit creek if they were treated that way, they take care of their family which is a full time job, and a valuable one.
You arent helping the man, you are helping your family, and everyone benefits from that.
Couldnt say anything about your career, I hate micro managed 9-5 jobs. All I've seen in my 11+ jobs is that the appearance of work is more important than the actual work, and the amount of money you earn is based on who you know, not what you know or how hard you work. If you do what you like, you will be poor (See artists), if you do whatever for money youll be unhappy, have little free time and probably get heart disease (See the medical industry: nurses).
I have the body for it!
And it dovetails well into your interest of sleeping with dudes of questionable sexuality! WIN - WIN!
