This is my first post and I would like some advice onWWYD?
I'm married both me and my husband work, he does 60 hour weeks on MW and I work three nights a week for just over MW. Currently we have no childcare costs but I do put DS1 in nursery 6 hours a week to socialise.
Dh work will now be changing (nothing we can do about it) meaning I won't be able to do my job. He will be coming home at 11.30pm and I need to be in work for 10.45 pm and no one is here to watch ds. (He's two and will be in bed). So I have been looking at new jobs, preferably full time to make the most of money. I've worked out that I would be £400 worse off a month going back FT after childcare costs.
I've been trying to apply for jobs that are more than MW but I haven't got any real qualifications. I don't have a degree my highest education is a diploma. I'd love to get a degree but the nearest university to me is 2 hours away and I can't afford to do distance learning.
We don't own a house we have hardly any money (never get to the end of the month with even a fiver in the bank) and I just feel in a rut! My confidence is on the floor and I need to pick myself up and focus towards something. Any suggestions or advice or even stories of how people have managed to pursue a career in my position would be great and would restore much needed hope :)
