I've always been one of those eternal students. I did a degree in Psychology followed by a masters in health pyshcology followed by a PhD hoping to get into clinical. But I then met my husband and had my 3 kids and now cannot face the prospect of 3 yrs clinical training.
For the last 5 yrs since finishing my PhD I've been running a website from home. I've learned a lot about websites and its meant I've been flexible with the kids but now I'm fed up and I want to earn some money instead. I'm sick of beeing broke and I feel isolated at home.
I think I'd like to go into teaching but I've left it too late to apply for September - all the primary places round here are full and I can't do secondary because psychology is not a curriculum subject so I have to apply this september for next september. But I want to do something now.
I've thought about a classroom assistant but all the schools have volunteers round here (thinking of doing that for expereince but would like to earn at least part time!) so doubt I'd get paid for it.
Any other suggestions on what I could do! Its a rural area so its not like there as masses of opportunities out there.
I've got a child at school and one in nursery in the afternoon and the baby (8mths) who I would have to arrange childcare for.
Despite my degrees I feel totally unskilled and inadequate. I'm shy and lack confidence. Thats why I need a job - something to give me a boost.
Who has some ideas on how to sort out my life?
