I'm in a pickle and need advice from mums who changed careers whilst their dd are young. I graduated from university with a first class degree 10 years ago and worked in my chosen field ever since. My pay isn't great but if I stayed in the same field at a different company I could be earning more. I've been thinking a career change as I lack in motivation and I'm not enthusiastic anymore in my job. I want to get into childcare. I applied for a p/t course (I have 2 young kids under 5) which involves 1 day in college and 2 days in school. I properly won't get paid much for the 2 days in school so my money will go from luxury to nothing! Do I go ahead and do the course (starts in sep) which means I will be very broke,no disposable income left to do anything. Or stay and be miserable in my current job ? (the pay is stable and my kids can continue with their clubs, food and bills will be paid etc). Deep down, I want to do the course but I can't be selfish as I will be broke for the next year or so. my current company is small so there is no where to progress or move up.
