She was a stay at home mom for 25 years but returned to the workforce about 5 years ago and recently became VP at a large insurance company. She says she’s always enjoyed her work as an actuary, and she preferred it over college math instruction, which she could do because FSAs are considered PhD-level. (And did while her 6 children were home.)
