Hi everyone, I'm 33 years old I had my children when I was 20 and 25 and in that time I wanted a job to work around them, so I went into childcare and worked term time to have them young in the holidays now they have grown up a but I feel childcare isn't the career I want, I dread work when I know it's time and the pay isnt the best either, but at the same time I dont know what to do career wise, has anyone else been in this situation before? Any advice is appreciated, thank you 💜

49 and no idea! I have had one massive career pivot and have 4 useless degrees.
Retirement is the most attractive career option at the moment for me. 😂
