I graduated in 2011 with a degree in graphic design
I decided just before Christmas that I'm not sure I really want to work in design. It's gone all web and mobile based and I have no experience in that, or in fact any desire to do it!
Before I gave up work to raise my DC's I worked in animal rescue
This week I applied for a weekend job there and even got an interview but yesterday was turned down. The successful candidate had an animal care qualification
I feel I have wasted my whole life faffing about between design and animal work and have got nowhere. I now feel I'm too old to do more training. I would be 50 by the time I qualified. I haven't had a full time job for 20 years
I feel a complete failure and am not setting a good example to my children.
I just want a job that I enjoy but I'm at a loss to know where to find it
I am grateful for my family and DH but I need to be doing something else, something not based around being mum all the time.
Don't know what the point of this post is? Just a self pitying whine really!
