I am a SAHM but will start nurse training soon (as a 30 something VERY mature student).

I am a nosey sod and want to know what you all do and if you are happy doing what you do?

Vet on ML, love it with all of my heart but worried about how it will work out when I go back ... such long hours, not enough money to cover the mortgage, feel I should be here for my DS etc etc ... :rolls eyes:

I run my own business wholesaling and retailing(online) baby/gift products that I invented and designed... and I love it!
Although it's a bit scary running my own business, it's incredibly rewarding seeing my products for sale in shops

3andnomore - As you are a qualified nurse can you do the OT course quicker, i.e. 12-18 months opposed to having to do the full 3 years?

I am a university lecturer and I love it. Have had a tough week this last week, but it has just made me realise what a community we are.

SuzieSweep... not so VERY mature... the oldest person I've taught was over 70! He was fab too... got a First!

Support Worker for adults with learning disabilities. I'm on maternity leave right now though.

I do love it, but I'm not looking forward to going back once maternity leave is over.

The best bit of the job is doing full time hours over 3 days. The worst bit is having to do a 24 hour long sleep-in shift once a week to fit all the hours in.

Work in tax law and yes I love it. Oddly enough. Sometimes it seems lilke a battle juggling everything.

TingTang · 10/11/2007 13:05

I'n an artist and do commissioned pieces, exhibit and sell some of my work through various craft galleries in and around Dublin and Cork.

Also teach art on a part-time to adults, which I enjoy hugely.

I truly love what I do, and regard myself as extremely fortunate to be making money from my talent.

Blandmum · 10/11/2007 13:06

I'm a part time teacher in secondary school and I love it. I also sometimes teach other teachers, and write teaching materials, and I love that too.
