Am 35, with dc3 on the way, and currently doing OU to complete my degree.
Have decided I'm interested in qualifying as a teacher post-grad. Probably wouldn't be starting the PGDE until 2010 - perhaps 2009 if I can organise myself.
Is this a good career choice? My mum was a primary teacher many moons ago and hated it, always put me off, but we're very different personalities and I have suddenly realised that just because she hated it, doesn't mean I will too.
I wouldn't be going into this for the holidays, hours etc, as I'm very aware how much more is required than just classroom time. I'm just trying to think of something that will suit me, will fit in with family, and pays a reasonable enough salary. We are a military family and from next year dh will be working away from Mon-Fri, coming home at weekends only. We will be living close to the rest of out family though, in Glasgow.
Any advice/opinions you wise women have for me?
