I have a secure, well paid and local job in a field that I graduated in. The current job market for this field is dire.
I am mid 40's.
About 4 years ago I started a degree in maths with the OU and have been thinking about becoming a teacher (secondary maths). I have been into a local school for a few days, have been helping out at my DS' primary school and have also done a bit of tutoring.
I have been offered a package to leave my current job. The monies would last me until I finished my degree.
Would I be totally and utterly mad to go for it? I was on the TES website yesterday and one poster said that the shortage of maths teachers was a myth and there were loads of teachers for each job vacancy.
I am really confused.....and frightened
