I'm 37, but feel like I have no idea what to do with my life!
Background: Graduated with a degree in Industrial Engineering. Took a job at a manufacturing plant because it was convenient and good money, it turned out to be a terrible fit so after a couple years I applied on a whim to a job at an insurance company I'd heard great things about and accepted a position that paid only slightly less, but was a much more people oriented and nicer work environment.
Put in a few years at that place, but even though it was a dream job on paper, turns out maybe I'm not just cut out for corporate life or sitting in front of a computer most of the day, so I happily quit when I had my first kid. That was 9 years ago.
Since then I have stayed home with my kids and done some nanny work on the side, except for a brief (less than 1 year) period doing some part time administrative / customer service work for a "really cool" locally owned, artsy furniture company that people kill to work at. That job taught me that I still hate sitting in front of a computer for long periods of time, and need to do something I give a shit about, which is not pretending to be interested in furniture.
Now my kids are in school and I nanny full time which is amazing because I basically am still a stay at home mom but get paid for it. The toddler comes to my house so I can get some stuff done during the day and be here whenever my kids need me. I also get to see my friends during the day. I am going to continue working with this family for the next six months or so until they put their kid in preschool, and am thinking about the next phase in my life.
What I want:
-part time
-not sitting at computer all day
-doing something meaningful to help people
-strong interest in financial or health related fields
Any suggestions on what might be a good fit?
