Hello,
I am a SAHP and have been for 6 years. I am in a fortunate position where we live comfortably on my husbands wage.
I feel now like I would like a career of some sorts, just something to give me a purpose and self worth (more than my family as that’s all I have become) I’m very happy being a mother, but aware my children will grow and wonder what next?
I have grown anxious since being to home, I see some of my friends take opportunities with their job and think “I couldn’t do that” my first reaction to most things outside the family is “I can’t do that” and I would like to get over that, and feel I can do things.
My issue is I don’t really know what on earth to be?! I can go to college or uni but have no idea how or what to do? Has anyone got any advice?
Maths is not my strong point, I am not particularly academic in that way, better at English and sociology, history ect in school than science and maths. I worked in sales before my children but as my husband works very long ours in the week I would like a career that doesn’t focus on weekend work so much.
I am interested in health and wellness, I go to the gym regularly and love skin care. Make up ect. I overcame trauma in my childhood with counselling and wellness ect are very important to me.
I would like a career that I could help people. I would be an awful nurse as very Squimish but love the idea of it. Maybe work for a charity? I don’t know
I love the idea of my own business but I’m so lost in what I should do or where to start. If anyone has any advice. Or could tell me about their job and why they love it that would be really great.
Thank you for your time
