Hi everyone.
I am a happily married 35 year old with three kids aged 3, 7 and 9.
I am currently working part time at a school as a teaching assistant, which I really enjoy. I have been at the school for five years and it fits perfectly around my family commitments.
Yesterday at work, we got told that some of us, who are on temporary contracts won't be getting our contracts renewed, which I am really gutted about. I had gotten really comfortable working there and never thought it would come to this.
Anyway, I now have to start looking for another job but I don't really know what direction I need to go in. Before I had my children I was very career minded, I graduated from a prestigious University with a 2.1 in history and I lived in a city where well paid jobs were easy to come by. I now live in a small town, where there are hardly any local jobs and I would ideally want a job that I can work around my kids.
I was even thinking about starting my own business or doing some work from home, but I don't know what. I was even thinking about doing some courses but I don't know where to start.
My husband has a well paid job and we are mortgage free so there's not much financial pressure but I feel like this is the perfect opportunity for me to get out of my comfort zone and do something worthwhile.
Could anyone maybe suggest some business or job ideas?
