I'm due to go back to work but work two hours away. I hate the idea of being so far from dd (dh also works the same distance). Putting dd in nursery near work would mean taking her on commuter train in morning (please no!) so she's in nursery at home.
So I'm looking to change job/career (I'm a trade journalist). No jobs that I can see in journalism around here (Worthing) - too many journalists in Brighton for there to be any jobs there! Oh and there is no freelance around - even my work has cut freelance budgets by 70% so that wouldn't be reliable enough.
What should I do? Change career (but to what?), get a temporary job on the tills to tide me over for a few years? I'm 41 so no spring chicken but don't see why I couldn't re train.
Bar teaching are there any jobs you get paid to retrain for? (probably not I know!)
What have you done? I'm really stuck so would love any suggestions as to what I should do as well as hearing your stories.
