So my time is running out to find a part-time job and finding a full-time job that doesn't require travel is not proving easy. I really have till end of Feb - but am trying to think about what else I could do instead.

Anyone else changed career? How did you decide what to do? (I actually quite like my old one it is just the way the industry is the jobs that are about are not family friendly and I am not into it enough (you know is IT (SAP Logistics) so although I enjoy it, it isn't really something you get passionate about :-)) to pursue it if it means I can't be about for the kids as much as I want.

If I am going to retrain would rather start this year than wait. If am not going to be working I would rather be studying towards working than not doing anything or just working in a job with no prospects (seems like I can't be flexible enough to get many of the jobs I could just do to earn money anyway, and have zero retail/cafe experience as when was younger worked on a production line)

Where do you even start working out what you might like to do? Start with what you are interested in and see what jobs might fit in that area?

How do I make sure I find something that is going to be more family friendly - with flexible but set hours (with no family support we rely on childcare so I need to be able to have set hours/days most weeks unless is outside of office hours where DH might be home)

Has anyone come across a good website about this area?
