What should a 37 year old mum of 3 retrain as?

I’m thinking about retraining as something - actually it’s just training as I don’t think my previous humanities degrees & patchy job history really count as being trained for anything Grin We can afford for me not to be earning for a few years while retraining.

What would you do? Things I’ve thought of are law, teaching, social work... I’m numerate in the sense of GCSE grade B, but things like accountancy are not for me. I’m very good at reading/research, writing, get on well with people. My ideal job would give me flexibility to be at the school gates a few days a week, but wouldn’t be based from entirely from home - colleagues are important to me.

What should I look into?

Copywriter. Lots of freelance here too to pick your own hours.

@Treacletoots where do you find the copywriting jobs? I’ve always heard it was a difficult (and poorly paid) area to break into.
