I have taken a gap of 7 years in my career due to my baby. I used to work in an IT Firm and then within the gap worked as a computer teacher.
Is there any chance I can go back to my field?
Is this gap going to be accepted?

I had a baby almost a year ago. I should start a 529 account for my child but I am originally from France which also makes her a French citizen and she could easily go to college in France for not much money. It’s pretty much free there, I have 0 Student loan debt. With that in mind, a 529 would not be super helpful if we go that route. Should I consider other options? Do you have suggestions? Thanks so much!
