You not just earn, but you will also make a difference in helping the society.</p>Jose commented on 'Second-Act Career: Work for a Nonprofit Organization'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2017ee8543a77970d2013-02-08T11:47:52Z2013-02-08T12:02:21ZJosehttp://thefindependent.comI think I would enjoy working at a non-profit.

I'd have to reach the point where I could declare myself "Financially Independent" first but I can see that as one possibility in my future. I've been in IT for over 30 years, it's wore me down a bit but I'm sure I could add some value to just about any NP organization.</p>JM commented on 'Second-Act Career: Work for a Nonprofit Organization'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2017ee850babc970d2013-02-07T23:13:19Z2013-02-08T01:16:57ZJMI work for a non-profit school as a first career. :) I was a CPA in public accounting for a...<p>I work for a non-profit school as a first career. :) I was a CPA in public accounting for a couple years first, and realized I really enjoyed working with my non-profit clients. So when I was ready to get out of public accounting, I made the switch. Don't regret it at all. I could certainly get better pay elsewhere (though I am still paid a reasonable salary), but the work/life balance is just incredible and I love the people I work with and what we work for. Do not regret it at all!</p>My Financial Independence Journey commented on 'Second-Act Career: Work for a Nonprofit Organization'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e2017ee84cf3f9970d2013-02-07T11:05:24Z2013-02-07T13:05:39ZMy Financial Independence Journeyhttp://www.myfijourney.comThis is one of those potential career shifts that is of interest to me.

If I get tired of my job, or laid off, after achieving financial independence, joining a non-profit might be a great idea. I don't think I'd be happy with just sitting around all day.</p>
<p>The one thing that isn't clear to me is just how much networking and non-profit work experience did Barbara have before her transition. From the tone of the article, I'd say a lot, but specifics aren't given.</p>
