Being a Caregiver Can Affect Your Career. Here's What to Do About It.
The toll of being a caregiver can extend well beyond emotional repercussions; it can also be financially taxing. Caregivers frequently spend their own money to support loved ones, and often, they're forced to make career sacrifices that hurt their earning prospects.
