Definitely 2 and 3. If I could add to stay sane and so that I can be a good mother when I am with my kids, I would.

1 through 6. But mostly #2. I believe I am doing something important, in my own small way.

For me, it's 1-4 and 6-7. Also, a sense of obligation to do our part to support our community and schools financially.

Mostly 2 and 3. I love what I do (I'm a special educator and coach for SETSS) and I feel very accomplished when my students who were struggling tremendously in the beginning of the year make major strides and begin reaching expected grade level toward the end of the year.

To support my husband in learning. I don't think I'd work otherwise (if his salary could support us).

I chose #1.
When I was younger and my kids were little I think I needed the outside stimulation and adult socialization that my job provided.
Now that I'm close to 40 and my kids are older, I'd be thrilled to not have to work and just have time to focus on my home and kids - I feel like there's never enough time
Bh I do work much fewer hours now than I used to, but I'd be fine with none Laugh
