NC'd as I'm embarrassed.
I have experience working as a supervisor in retail, hotel receptionist and 6 months in a bank (temp contract). I haven't enjoyed any of these jobs but just did them for the money. I've been a SAHM for about two years now but when thinking about returning to work, I'm stumped. We don't 'need' the money but I need to start thinking about what to do otherwise I'll miss out on my pension contributions. I can afford another two years off but then I'll need to work for 30 years or so to make sure I qualify as I have about 5 years of contributions and I'm nearly 30. I'm daunted about this as I do not know what I want to do. I've been offered two jobs recently but didn't take either as 1 was too many hours (didn't know before interview) and the other I got a bad vibe from the interview and knew I wouldn't be happy there.
A big 'thing' is that because we don't financially need the money, DH says that if I do take a job it should be because I really want to do it and love it. That's great in theory but A) I genuinely have no idea what I'd enjoy doing and I've spent hours looking at careers and how to get into them and I've literally not seen anything I'd 'love' to do. I love being a SAHM but I can't do that forever. B) I'm not that qualified (GCSE's and A Levels) and feel like I don't have lots of 'good' work experience. Another problem is that when I do, it'll need to be part time and interfere with family life as minimally as possible. I did look at training and working in a nursery but I know that I wouldn't really enjoy that either.
Can anyone give me some advice? I feel like I'm just useless and drifting through with no plan, which scares me.
