what should I do with my life?

[Beansmum]

Any ideas?

I have the next year and a bit sorted, just need to finish my degree, but I have no clue what I want to do after that and I'm getting a bit (a lot) stressed about it.

here are some of my ideas
primary teacher
open a second hand bookshop
tax inspector
stay home until ds starts school
do another degree, possibly english lit?
marry a millionaire and have lots of children

I need help. which one of the list would you choose?

Don't know if this will be helpful or confuse the issue - I just finished an English Lit degree, which was interesting but I always worried would be a bit of a useless degree - and am now training to be a primary teacher. I wanted to do the teacher thing because I wanted to do something that mattered to me, and also could be with childies in hols and had flexibility (was not London tied). I am doing the 1 yr PGCE - although it is a good course it is VERY intensive. (6 days/wk 8+ hrs/day). The good side is that it is only one academic year long. Maths teachers are in demand, and last I knew could possibly receive a £4K 'golden hello' as well as the standard £6K bursery that all trainee teachers get. (Though the 4k might only be at secondary level - not sure)
Best thing to do if you are wondering is spend a morning a week volunteering in a local school.
Best of luck.
