Several years ago, Amy Burns was working 70 or more hours a week as an industrial engineer, balancing her time off with her husband who was working similar hours as the manager at a Ford dealership. When the couple started talking about having a family, Burns realized that something in their busy work schedules would have to change in order to have kids. So she decided to make a drastic career change and go back to school to become a teacher in order to have more time on weekends and summers to spend with her children.
