I need to retrain - Anyone got any useful advice on my two career options.
- Teaching - i could do a teacher training course in september (either primary or art secondary). I have 5 and 3 year old boys. Will I be able to cope with teaching and my own kids, everyone says teaching is such hard work, so stressfull etc. Is this exagerated or is it really true? Is anyone else managing to do this? Would I have any energy left for my own kids at the end of the day??
- Accountancy - ive done a lot of bookeeping and am good at it, my accountant has offered me as much bookkeeping work as I want, to do from home. Would have to do proffessional acca exams from home and then I might be able to work 3/4 days per week and I imagine money would be quite good (true or false?). Are there part-time jobs in accountancy? Is it easy to work from home odd days when kids ill? Are the exams really hard? Any one else done this or doing this?? Not planning to be a highflyer, so would I be expected to do long hours in office?
Trying to make a decision - any advice would be much appreciated
