Dear Love
Guru,
My husband travels
frequently and it’s difficult for me to find a job wherever we go. I don’t know
if I should stay in one place with a job or move with him. Pl advise.
Sincerely,
Kiara
Dear Kiara
It’s
difficult to find a balance between a career and a marriage for every woman but
it’s far more difficult if you’re constantly on the move. If it’s the early
stages of your marriage and you’ve taken a sabbatical from your job, then do
travel with your husband to set a good foundation with him. If you’re in a
fabulous job with a great support system at a particular place, stay in your
job and figure out how to manage visits frequently. Ask for more flexi timings
to work from your husband’s place as well. If you do decide to stay with your
husband and give up your job, find an alternate career that doesn’t require
regular office hours – writing, painting, cooking, interior design, teaching,
architecture, law, etc that you can easily find people willing to pay for your
services anywhere in the world. Also the internet has opened up many job
opportunities for people anywhere in the world. You can be paid to blog, write
reviews about books/ movies or be a personal shopper. Joining classes, getting
a degree or forming clubs also helps expand your horizon. A career is not just
about bonuses and paychecks. It’s also about expanding your horizons and
growing as an individual. If you have the love and support of your husband, the
sky is the limit!
