You are losing your job. Your spouse would like you to work part-time. You know that for your career, part-time jobs are difficult to come by although you are open to it. You believe that the only way to go will be to find full time employment. How much should you take what your spouse wants into consideration?

I would take my spouses thoughts into consideration, but I would also take in my thoughts about my career and my decision to do what is best for my career so that I can advance to where I want to be in my career. My spouse already has a career as an electrician. And, is very supportive, But as of now I'm just a Stay At Home Mom of our two children. But, my plan is to be a pastry chef once our youngest is in school all day. And, he supports that whether when I go back to work whether it be full time or part time. Do what is best for you in your career, since you already got your spouses opinion about what he thinks you should do, you now should make the decision on what will help you best in yours.

If your spouse thinks you should work part-time, I think you should consider it. There may be a reason behind it. If you're not sure which one would be better, consider Prepaid legal as a job opportunity. It can be done full-time or part-time. It is also a career for some people.

I'm unemployed and my wife isn't. Because we live in one state and she works in another, we are moving (renting after our house is sold) near her job to cut down on her 40 mile (each way) commute. Now that we are attempting to have a child, it looks like I'll be Mr. Mom and she'll "bring home the bacon". I had job offerings in states other than where we live or she works, but that's not an option for us. I value my spouses opinion and we work together to meet our needs. We don't want someone else raising our child.

I think it would also depend on if you have children (then you have to consider childcare) and the reason he only wants you to work part-time now. Is he doing it b/c he wants a cleaner house or b/c he knows you are really stressed out with your job and thinks you need a break? Then, of course, you must also consider how your lifestlye (money) would have to change if you only work part-time. I think you definitely have to consider what your spouse says though.

The extra favourite you become on your profession the extra funds is provided in and the extra weight you benefit and the least you think of approximately public and social subject concerns. The equation is so easy and sensible. My question could be do we ever see an afternoon while this equation might slightly exchange. As interior the load would be out from this equation in comparison immediately proportional with the flesh presser's profession while he could be extra in contact in fixing all burning social subject concerns? " while is that day going to come again? Will it ever come? Mr. Stephanopoulos hoping to get an answer from you?

I would love to work part time and if my partner suggested it I would do it even if I had to work in another field.

it is something that you should most certainly discus with your partner but if you can not come to a definite agreement you will have to do what you fell is best
especially with careers, who knows what could come along

Keep his opinion in your mind, but, ultimately you are going to make your own decision. If you do that you will be happier later.
