I’m a qualified teacher but as I’m newly qualified I’d be on around £22k- add in long hours, heavy work load and stress and I’m in no hurry to return.
I have a lot of experience in Early Years and am a childminder at the moment as my youngest it 2 but I’d like to get back into work that isn’t caring for young children. I do love the freedom for each day to be different and time with my family.
I can’t justify spending money on retraining as I have a lot of student debt but am not afraid of a bit of hard work.
Ideally in 3-5 years I’d like to be on a career path and be earning more than £25k p.a.
I used to run my own business which was successful and I enjoyed because of the freedom but it was a unique market which doesn’t really exist anymore.
Wise mumsnetters, what shall I do with the rest of my life?
