Hi ladies, I desperately need your advice. I have been a SAHM for the last 5.5 years, and am (finally) planning on returning to work. However, this is where my predicament starts. In my heart I realy really really want to train as a midwife (3 year degree). Its something that I have a massive interest in, but worry that it will take me away from my kids and husband too much, and financially 3 years is a long time to be in training. Because of this I have applied to become a teacher. I know I can do this role, I love the kids and I only need to complete a 1 year pgce, but my desire to do this is nowhere near as strong as midwifery. Teaching ticks all the boxes for spending time with the kids and husband (ie weekends and school holidays) but I feel I am denying my true feelings in order to make sure my families needs are met. It all sounds very clear cut, but I am really struggling and would appreciate any advice you can give (or personal experience).........HELP!
