Hello.  I have been with my current employer for almost 17 years; however, my Accountant position is now being outsourced to India.  I want to take off some time to spend with my 4 children (ages 12, 8, 5, & 1); however, I am unsure as to the fall out affects of this "time off" once I choose to re-enter the workforce.  My husband has suggested that I take some classes at the local university to pursue a Master's Degree (I already have a Bachelor's Degree) to account for my time off.  Any ideas ?  Thanks.
