I keep getting stuck thinking about this. DS2 starts school next September, so I will have 9am to 3pmish free, at least in term time.
Before having kids, I worked in the City, doing IT things. I liked the actual coding work, and liked working with bright people, but found the hours mad, and some of the people insane.
I like doing coding, I really do. I think it suits me, and I'd like to get back into it. (I was pretty good at it, last job was v blue chip.) I'm reasonably personable, but I don't think I want to work With People.
I'm starting a creative writing course with the OU later this month (shhh, don't tell anyone, I'm a bit funny about it all ), so I am trying something different, but I think making money at that sort of thing is kinda unlikely.
I don't really need to make money, I guess, but it would be good to, I think.
I guess, in theory, I want a coding job that's flexible or shorter hours. I don't mind the City (the DSes school is there, anyway!). But I like picking the boys up from school and biking them home, and still would want to do that, at least a few times per week. I wouldn't mind working from home, I don't think.
Any ideas or insights?

Should I go back to work? If so, doing what? (City/IT)
