Emily–”now that I’ve peaked behind that curtain, I’m free!” What a great comment. I’m on (ahem!) an extended break from employment these days. And when I think of going back, I actually think I may try something I’m not particularly passionate about–possibly something with self-employment possibilities. Here in France, there’s a lot of work for people who are willing to check on elderly people and handicapped people in their homes, make sure they have everything they need, etc. While it doesn’t sound like something I’d be passionate about–it’s good honest work that I could feel good about doing, but that won’t be all consuming.
