Sounds like me.. I've been a SAHM for 12 yrs now, and when the kids grow older I want a career and am also leaning towards social work and counseling.
Quoting jessica2vjv:
Hi I was thinking about careers and wondering if I decided to go back to school what would I be? I have been a SAHM for 15 years and thinking about when the kids are grown what should I do with my life? I have no idea what I would do? I kind of flip flop between healthcare but not nursing. social work, counseling. Just to name a few. I would like so have a career and some point in life. That would make a decent salary. Realistically at this point in life if u could choose a Career what would you be?

I would probably be still working as a direct care aid. That is what I was doing 8 years ago before dd was born. It didn't pay alot, but it did pay the bills. It was a really rewarding job, but it could be stressful at times, and the hours weren't always convienient, as I was required to work all shifts plus weekends and holidays when schedualed. Made finding time to get together with the family tough.
I would become a doula! : ) Then, once the LO's are all grown up, I plan on becoming a midwife. : ) I used to work with special needs children and loved it. But, I feel I am in a different phase in my life and would love to dedicate my time to helping ensure babies are born safely and happily! : )
