I’m in my early 30s & have two boys age 2 & 4, I’m a make up artist and my work days are primarily Friday-Sunday, I feel so trapped. I’ve been a make up artist since I was 18 and have absolutely loved it until having children, especially now that my eldest is due to start school. My partner, friends and family all work Monday-Friday type jobs & soon my boys will both be at school all week too and I’m stuck working all weekend, my diary is booked far in advance and I constantly feel tied by my job. I can never be a part of a last minute day out or weekend away, it’s getting to a point that i actually feel that it’s really effecting my mental health and i desperately want a career change but I don’t have a clue where to start or what I even want to do. Ideally I want to be in a position that I can spend time with my family at weekends, I have a level 3 diploma in health and social care which I obtained when I was 17 (not sure if this is likely to be expired) do I go back to college? Do I look into an apprenticeship? I honestly don’t have a clue where to even begin. Has anyone been in a similar situation and successfully changed their career? Any success stories or advice would be hugely appreciated!
