Would love your views/experiences.
I have been desperate to get out of my career for YEARS (social work related) and have found a job as a TA in a lovely village school, sounds idyllic and they're paying pretty good as far as the job goes which is highly poorly paid.
However I know I would love being an early years TA and in a couple of years I may well want to top up to a degree...so in the further future there's got to be an opportunity there to train as a teacher I would think.
Job is a bit of a drive away so I would be out of the house from 8am to about 4.30pm.
DS would have to have an hour of breakfast club each day which he has so far never had to do. I would have help from my mum/MIL/DH to pick him up each day though.
And of course I'd get holidays off with him.
However we'd have to budget HARD to manage.
Also however, if I stay in social work related jobs I may well go mad, plus am 40 so don't feel I have forever to change career.
On balance do you think this is a good move to make?
I'd love to know from those who have done or are doing the job whether you think this would be worth it.
