My second child will start secondary school next year and I currently do a part-time school hours admin job (not in a school!). I enjoy the job but wonder if I should be doing something that stretches me a bit more and also earning more money, especially now my children are becoming more independent. I have a degree and used to have a professional job before children. I spent a number of years as a SAHM before getting this admin job, which has really been a great way to get back into working life.
I would consider going back to my former professional job but I can't just step back into it, it would be quite a long road before I could do it again. I also never particularly enjoyed it, so figured I might as well explore other options while I have the chance.
I've been working through a book about finding the right career for you and at the end of a long process of trying to analyse my character and skill set it boiled me down into 3 interests/knowledge areas and 4 skills.
The book then just advises I go and ask lots of people what jobs they can think of that would match. I thought I'd try mumsnet for this as there will no doubt be a broader range of people on here than people I know!
The 3 things I really love and/or have knowledge in are:
Books
Health/Medicines
Money/Finance
My 4 skills are:
Conveying warmth and empathy
Following through and completing a task
Communicating effectively
Planning
I've deliberately not mentioned anything about my degree subject or former job as I'd love you to just look at those things without any pre-conceptions. Although I'm sure that won't stop you guessing 
If anyone has any idea of jobs that might fit please do let me know - even if they seem a bit crazy!
Further useful info would that I would be happy to do some training but really want to work part time in the long term.
I await your marvellous ideas
