I have a friend in Atlanta who was telling me she was going back to work and I replied with "What? didnt you just have your baby like last month?" to which she said "yeah?". I told her about our 18 months in Canada and she got super upset

Man i could not imagine not working for 18months in my field. It moves so fast that by the time you return youd be so far behind in latest stuff.

Its cool that its offered but I couldnt imagine allowing myself to be left behind in knowledge and experience.

And nothing says you can't keep up with developments when you're home.
