Can't face return to work

[Skymama90]

I'm a SAHM to DS aged 20 months but it's been a bit tight financially. Before I went on maternity leave and had by flexitime rejected I was a primary school teacher (ECT newly qualified). It was very stressful and all consuming and I can't face going back. I've had a few teaching agencies ask me to register but I'm very hesitant. Anyone had a change of career and didn't regret it. Part of my thinks it would be a waste of my qualifications. Any advice welcome.

Get out of teaching.
Unless you are a very rare and very gifted person with abnormal and superhuman reserves of energy.

Teaching proves to any employer that you can stand up and talk to a room, so try anything involving presenting, training, customer service, sales.
Also teachers have to do loads of admin, so any administration job.

But, you won't get a teacher's salary in a new role, you will be starting again at the bottom.
