At present, I work in education. I'd say I'm fairly good at it - (I have probably a stronger academic background than most who do my job, although I accept this isn't necessarily probative) and it has much to recommend it: I have no travel costs; no childcare difficulties; redundancy/removal is, for a number of reasons, unlikely.
But I need to earn more money. My background is in the law (my ho-hum degree is an LLB) and in writing. I have worked as a proofreader and editor and in fact still 'dabble', but needed the security of a full-time, salaried job. I write well, and perform very well in aptitude tests (practice civil service tests, for example). I'd have liked to have been a medical writer, but science isn't my discipline. I'm also worried about the Civil Service - presuming I passed the sift - as a friend taken on by the DWP only 18 months ago, has just been told his contract won't be renewed. I couldn't Chuck in a stable job for a dicey one. I've got three kids and a non-resident partner.
I'm not planning on learning Python or Java, or C++ or whatever. I'd be terrible at that. Tutoring I very definitely have thought about. But I'm prepared to do any amount of online courses or training. I'm happy to work into the night, at odd hours. I don't need to earn more than NWM as an hourly rate. It could even be 'mindless' if a supplementary role. WFH would obviously be ideal, but not essential.
Any suggestions?
