I would love some details from people within either profession as i am seriously considering looking into courses etc for next year!

AGED CARE - this is something i think i could do, i saw how my nan was treated in aged care facilities (1 good, 1 horrible) and i know i could be there for these people.
It's a position that could quite easily work around having 2 kids (i could do night fill etc)

MIDWIFERY - Is something that is really starting to interest me, i love being around PG people, i love babies and i would love to be a part of the bigger picture bringing these tiny little bundles into the world.
Also since being on BB i have realised the importance in supporting a woman through her birth choices and feel blessed that i had 2 fantastic (if you can call them that) labours that i can use as an example of how things could be for someone else.

I guess what i need to know for each is:

1. How did you know it was for you?

2. How long & expensive are courses etc?

3. What do you consider the downside of your occupation?

4. What should i know BEFORE heading into something like this?

Would love to hear from anyone doing midwifery, aged care or similar.... TIA
