Working parents …

Do you find you are able to excel in your position even though you’re also a mother/wife/full time employee?

I really get annoyed when people make comments about “putting their career on hold” why? Why can’t both be achieved I feel as though I am successful in my career I worked very hard for. I guess the moral is don’t let others discourage you with their words.

I'm one of those that doesn't understand not moving mountains to obtain the things you personally want and/or need just because you're a mom.

I got through nursing school with a baby. I fought to get into the program, stay in it, and graduate. I did take loans, but I also worked nights. Alot of my together time with my child those first years was doing homework but it paid off because she thought it was cool to imitate me and then when she started getting homework it wasn't so bad...because mom did it allllll the time.

Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere
