"Times have changed,"said Robert Loftus,34,of Yonkers,NY.He quit a six-figure sales job a year ago to care for his two young children while his wife works full time."We are trying to rethink our priorities (优先考虑的事)and family seem to be N0 1 priority while in the past maybe people were more focused on career."
