...See more Hi everyone, I'm feeling lost and don't know which way to go. I changed career after 20 yrs of teaching in 2021. I went back to uni and did a BSc and then continued onto a PgD which I'm in my 2nd yr. Thing is, I can't find a job now (I'm a Brit living in France) and my family keep saying sarcastic things like when am I gonna get a proper job. Or I can't be a student forever etc. My husband says I've wasted money and I should get a job. I was working in a company but last week they said they weren't renewing my contract as my language skills aren't good enough. So now I'm unemployed and the prospect of getting a new job in my new career pathway is slim (it feels like) I've spent the last 25 yrs being a mother to 5 kids and still taking teaching jobs when and wherever possible. I've never worked in a company or school as I am always expected to drop everything for me kids. So I've always been self employed. I just want to feel like my life counts for something. But now I'm unemployed and it looks like everyone was right. Maybe I should have just stuck with what I was doing. Sorry for the long post. I have noone else to talk to as my feelings are just met with eye rolls and told you so.....
