What's a lucrative career with good work/life balance?

I want to afford a nice home in a safe neighborhood with an excellent school district. I want to afford quality childcare and good educational and extracurricular opportunities.

@Starcrossed How do you recommend getting into those fields? I already have a doctorate and an MA. I could do certs or training, but I'd rather not go for a whole new degree.

@blindbob lol you got degrees, many corporate entities won't even care it's in basket weaving or psych, you got that magic $30K+ pass...

You just have to find a company near you, pick an industry, say med tech, and apply for an entry level job. Maybe get your foot in the door in customer service then transfer to IT/Finance/MasterData.

@Starcrossed I've actually been thinking about getting a cert in medical writing and editing, but i want something on the tech side that will complement it.
