<p>I am extremely fortunate because this job includes benefits, even though I am only working 25 hours a week.</p>
<p>Since their standard health benefit is 80% of an individual plan, most of my pay will actually go toward health insurance (since we would otherwise be on COBRA), but I have a foot in the door of reemployment.</p>
<p>(Note also that MomofWildChild is in the executive realm of employment, whereas I am targeting administrative type positions, given that my work experience is 10 years old and my education was in the realm of philosophy and German literature. :o )</p>
