To ask what job brings you fulfilment?

I will be 38 when my last child starts school and I want to start a new career for me but just unsure what. I definitely feel a calling to help others and to something selfless to get that sense of fulfilment but I just can't put my finger on it.

For a while I had seriously considered midwifery or doula but concerned I may not be fair enough due to my own birth trauma. Considered nurse training but sadly think I may pass out if someone came in with a severed finger or something or may be sick myself if I saw someone vomiting! So I'm kind of stuck.

What jobs bring you fulfilment now kids at school?

I gave up a job in finance to work in a children's nursery. I spend my days helping children learn through play and there is nothing more rewarding! I genuinely love going to work every day
