I have wanted to be a primary school for years. I have a few years experience as a TA; but that was over 10 years ago.
I have since done an OU degree in childhood and youth studies with a view to doing my PGCE for primary teaching.
But with so many teachers so stressed I am not sure wheather it's a good idea. I am a single parent. Two dds at secondary school. Is it realistic to think I could do a PGCE and then work in a primary school (year R or 1 hopefully) and not get too overwhelmed? Or would it really be better to go 9-5 job with less stress but not the holidays? And, if so, what should I look at doing?
Surelysl social work would be just as stressful. But I do want an interesting job and not just an office job. I do want to help people ideally.
At the moment I work in a secondary school but need to get a full time job with pay I can live on.
I am semi rural so need to take that into consideration too. Any ideas or suggestions?

If I don't want to teach, what do I want to do?
