Looking to re-enter the work-force now that your kids are in school?  If your kids are in school full-time, you have more flexibility to go after the career of your dreams.  However, you may be unsure of which career path to take.   So, today we’re going to share  four careers to consider when your kids start school.   Making your own money or contributing to the household is a great way to put your on the self-empowerment path.    

1.  School Teacher 

Many parents go into teaching because they enjoy being around children.  Additionally, they have plenty of experience with their own kids. If you’re creative and quick-minded with a college education, you could train to become an elementary or high-school teacher.

One of the benefits of teaching when you have kids is that you will also have summer and winter breaks off.  Definitely add school teacher to your list of careers to consider.

2.  Nursing

It may take a few years to qualify as a nurse, however, nursing is a rewarding and flexible career choice for mothers. Not only can you enjoy helping patients, but you can also work your shifts around your child.

You should know, however, that your training doesn’t end when you become a nurse. As part of your continued professional development, you will need to complete ongoing training. The good news is, with companies like Valley Anesthesia, you can earn your AANA Certification while enjoying deluxe resort accommodations. If your lifestyle allows, you can take a break from family life and focus on continuing your education.  You can do this, all from the sanctity of a stunning educational resort.

3.  Web Developer

Are you harnessing secret coding skills? If so, you could become a web developer and work from the comfort of your own home. Because of the rise of online shopping sites and remote working, freelance web developers and designers are in high demand.  A career in Web Development allows both flexibility and a great salary.

Furthermore, you don’t need to be tied to a 9-5 schedule.  You can find your own clients and work when it suits you. The same goes for any freelance work such as photography, photo editing, copywriting and accounting.

4.  Yoga Instructor

Again, if you like the idea of being self-employed, why not use your skills and interests to earn money.  Yoga is incredibly popular, and all it takes is a short course to turn your passion for yoga into a teaching career.

Finding a balance between work and family time is difficult for many parents. Make sure you’re earning enough money to support your family when contemplating what careers to consider.  Most importantly, you want to be able to spend time with your children and enjoy a little personal time.  Finding the right career with a bit of flexibility can put you on the path to a rewarding career and family life.  So, it pays to do your research and have an open mind when considering your career.
