I have been a civil servant for most of my working life, working in policy. I have a geography degree and an interest In careers guidance. In have thought about training for a teacher for years. I was just about to send my uni application for a PGCE when I found out I was pregnant with my second child. Since then my plan was to process my application for a 2018 start (I will have an 18 month old and 5 year old). The bursary means this is the first time I can afford a career break to do the training. From colleagues who have done some teaching, to negative comments online. I am now concerned whether this is the right thing. I am sure I would love teaching but am concerned about 70 hour weeks, having to pay for my own supplies, etc. based on the feedback mentioned before. Any thoughts?
