Hi,
I'm thinking ahead a bit here but basically I am planning to take 12 months off work to be SAHM. I've been working in corporate setting for 8 years as a digital marketing sales consultant. ( media sales) . Last 3 years on 3 days a week. My p/t status is challenged now as the role has changed, is not longer viable p/t and I don't want to go full time as everyone who does is so stressed and I am already stressed and depressed by the ever increasing workload. Expectations are rising and my performance is not rising at the same rate. So I want to get out before I am pushed.
12 months as SAHM would give me time with DC's before they start school and i'd be able to help them settle into 1st term at school next year.
For financial reasons don't want to be a SAHM forever though - but don't think I'd easily get back into same career, it's a young persons game unless you move to Sales Director which I don't really want.
Thinking of retraining or career change. But what? I will be 42 by time I'm ready to enter job market again. I stay at wake at night thinking about what I could do and 'be' in my new career. I need to have some sort of plan before I make the leap off the career ladder! Any ideas?
