I'm shocked they said no, considering how much it would help their budget.<BR/><BR/>What's really frustrating about part time office jobs is that you have to work full time and then ask to cut back. I never saw any part time jobs in my former field (technology). <BR/><BR/>I did cut back to part time at my last job and it worked out great. It helped my boss' budget and she knew that I'd be able to get a full amount of work done in 25 hours a week. Unfortunately for me, I got paid less (I was an hourly contractor) even though I was cutting back on the web surfing time and not on my doing work time. In most offices, unless it's crunch time, I don't think 35 or 40 hours a week of work is really necessary.<BR/><BR/>My only advice is to think about what makes you happy. After my 3rd layoff in 2007, a friend who I'd worked with suggested that maybe working in technology doesn't make me happy. She was right, and gave me nudge I needed to make the career change to writer. My entire education was aimed at writing, and then I fell into technology and was good at it, but didn't love it. <BR/><BR/>If you could do anything in the world for a living, what would it be? Now, start taking steps to doing that. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028558997383919768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043527093315561242.post-70853518983991001852009-02-08T21:46:00.000-08:002009-02-08T21:46:00.000-08:00Much at stake.
