I know exactly what you mean about the money...it's not everything, but with a DH & 3 kids, it's a bit of it ...and of course you want to be fair to your DH & give him a chance to follow his dreams... if you can be in a jopb you love that also pays well , woo-hoo!
From what I am reading... I would say skip the law, do child health - there are positions vacant, you have a goal already set out (to be a supportive voice, and maybe sing a different tune? ) AND you could maybe in a few years when the kids are older study MW as well & combine them? That way you would get to dip a toe in both waters....
If you are going to be the one supporting the family then yep your right it does have to be a bit about the money. Law or nursing then will give you a better financial standing. Exciting to have options tho!!
Thanks guys
At the moment (after reading everyone's posts) I'm thinking that I might do the doula course this year, and then try to get into nursing next year (cos even if I don't like nursing as such, it would be a great help I think in being a doula?) and then see where I am in a couple of years and reassess if necessary.
As much as I loved studying law, there is a little part of me that is scared to put so much effort into something that I'll just end up hating (and have my mother say to me - but you've just wasted 2 years and blah blah blah blah)
