I am in my 40s with a ds of 5 and another of nearly 2. I have a university degree but currently work in a low-paid admin position. I'm tired of struggling financially and considered training to be a teacher, as there is funding available and a year later I could be on a decent wage. But a thread on here quickly put paid to that idea! It seems utterly un-family friendly. I have previously worked in publishing (no money unless you live in or are willing to travel to the right place), and as an office manager, where I reached the top salary. I want a job where I earn a wage that is in line with my academic achievements, as well as experience and skills earned since then. But I can't afford to pay tuition fees or give up work to study... I'm out of ideas. If anyone can think of anything or has their own success story please let me know!
