If so what did you do before, what do you do now? Why did you change?

I am at a bit of a crossroads and need some ideas as to which way to go now.

I took voluntary redundancy when I was on Mat Leave and have since moved to a new area. My choices are

  1. try to find similar work to what I did before, part-time, with reasonable pay (seems to be fairly impossible, unfortunately).

  2. become a SAHM at least until ds starts school but am worried about being unemployable by then and I also feel I need to do something for "me", now, and finances for next few years would be tight.

  3. find something else to do / retrain / start own business.

It's the third option I want some ideas on!

I've gone through receptionist / charity fundraiser / Home Start Organiser through to Student and hopefully eventually Sec / school teacher.
