E19 featuring Jane Carmichael: Is being an ”army wife” its own career? PART TWO

This week we hear the second half of Jane Carmichael’s story. The family is living within the wire on a closed-down base when she finds another opportunity to use her words for good. Jane experiences working remotely pre-pandemic, before the now well-trodden path of agile working was a thing, and it was very hard! Jane also sends her girls to boarding school, which is a great privilege but also a tremendous hardship. The cost of childcare was prohibitive to working outside the home when the girls were little, which has definitely reduced Jane’s ability to maximise her economic potential. But I leave this episode thinking that if being an Army Wife was a career of its own then Jane would be the CEO.
