When taking a break from the paid workforce, keep in touch
periodically with at least a few colleagues who've been supportive in
the past. This will ensure that your career network is active whenever
you need it.

According to a study of over 600 MBA grads, with 56 % earning over $100,000, “Fifty-eight percent of respondents believe a person skilled at networking could see a ‘significant, substantial or dramatic’ impact on income — even up to a 100-percent increase.”
