5.0 out of 5 stars A Right on Time Read! August 22, 2011

By Veronica Pierce

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed reading this book and I can really relate to Tara¡¦s story. I am a wife, mother, full-time employee, adjunct college instructor, AND beginning a doctorate degree program this September. This book was ¡§right on time¡¨ in providing excellent advice on balancing out a career and motherhood, as well as life in general. Although I am not currently in the career position I want to be, I am now confident that with hard work and patience I will succeed in my career goals.

The ¡§side-hustle¡¨ resource listing was exceptionally helpful and upon reading the tutoring suggestion I was instantly reminded of my side-hustle of being a part-time adjunct professor. I would love to see Tara add part-time adjunct college instruction as a ¡§side-hustle¡¨ because believe it or not you only need a bachelor¡¦s degree at minimum to instruct at most community colleges. Most universities may require a master¡¦s degree at minimum but if you have a doctorate degree expect a nice bonus in pay.

With a lot of community colleges and even major universities delivering their academic content via online courses, this is becoming a popular career trend for those looking for flexible part-time employment. I have done online part-time adjunct college-level instruction for a year now at my alma mater; I really enjoy it because of the flexibility (teaching online), the additional income and most importantly making a difference in the lives of my students. You may also find K-12 and secondary level schools are also entering the world of online teaching (i.e. Florida Virtual School)

I am excited and look forward to additional series releases from Tara ş

5.0 out of 5 stars A Manual for the Future May 9, 2011

By gringa822

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I love the conversational tone of this book. It's a manual for moving forward as a mom and career woman -- advancing from the static working world to something more exciting and better for your family. While Jefferson aims this book at young moms, it would be great for ANY mom who wants to change it up and take control of her income and enjoy her home life.
