Career Ideas

If you already have a Bachelor's degree, many school districts will train and educate you to be a teacher. It's what I did. It's call Alternative Certification. I went through the program about 10 years ago in Dallas, then moved to the Mesquite ISD. I'm now a SAHM, and was a K teacher, so I feel like I'm still using my knowledge. Districts are always looking for science/math teachers, so if that's your forte, I'm sure you'd be in demand. The pay is decent as a teacher and of course you are on the same holiday schedule as your kids. That's an added bonus. Good luck to you!

Hi M.,
If you are interested in a home based business, please contact me.
My business ties in very nicely with my other interest: health and fitness. You can get certified in a short period of time as a personal trainer or exercise instructor. There is a water fitness one day course coming up soon in McKinney. You need to get the manual beforehand to study though.

Consider the library world! it can take as little as 2 years start to finish to get a Master's degree, depending on how many classes you take at a time. with a Liberal Arts background and management skills of 3 children, you may really enjoy it. you can try volunteering at a library to give it a trial run.

I've always been a SAHM (ex corporate exec) and LOVE that aspect of motherhood. As a mom of a 14 yr old now, this is more valuable than EVER.

I have an only child and when she entered K in 2000 I was volunteering myself crazy with the school because I LOVE her school. The principal asked me to sign up to be a subsitiute which I did. I have been a substitute at my daughter's elementary school ONLY and I can easily keep busy 2-4 days a week since 2000. I've even been offered full time which is not practical for my family right now because I am the accounting/management person for our personal corporation....NON MLM.

My preference is 1-2 days a week MAX because we do run our corporation out of our home.......NOT MLM....A Personally funded, legitimate, consulting/brokerage comapany with raw materials that we have been involved in for the past 25+ years. We do a LOT of negotiating with transfers from supplier to customer, warehousing, travel to manage accounts, detailed expenses, and wiring money and funds to suppliers to negotiate shipments.

My subbing days are very well planned, no late night or early morning calls....Our company is #1 Priority here and the subbing is a fantastic outlet I can do that allows me to be with the little kids I love to be with to teach. I LOVE subbing and I keep doing it because I love it.

If I were faced with HAVING to get a job outside the corporation full time, I would be in the classroom in a heartbeat.

People LOVE to talk about "six figure" incomes and that is FANTASTIC.... GO FOR IT. However......there are "six figure" incomes that are barely able to squeeze by that label and other "six figure" incomes that far surpass that label. Keep in mind....the degree of "six figures" is HUGE. It takes a LOT of hard work to reach and maintain a good medium to high level "six figure". It doesn't happen overnight (unless you win the MEGA lottery or are doing something illegal), it happens over years.

Stay focused on the BIG PICTURE.

We are in Plano ISD. Best wishes.

Hello M.,
Your children are so young! You surely have a very busy household. How absolutely wonderful.
I was a stay at home mom for a long time, then an opportunity to be a teacher came along. It was 2 years for me, though, as I had a BS in Business and I wanted to be a PE teacher. That was 15 years ago, and I love every day. The great thing about teaching is that you have holidays off when your children are off, and if you work at the same school they attend, even better.
In addition to teaching, I have another job as a consultant with Creative Memories. I love that job, too, as I teach people how to preserve their family photos. It is very very rewarding, and I do it from home. I also get my supplies at cost, so I keep up with my own family photos and albums.

I hope I have helped you in some small way. Best wishes for a fabulous day,
M.

if you enjoy learning about health and wellness and would like to hear about the possibility of having your own home business.......working your own hours. I know it sounds too good to be true, but that's what I do and I'd be happy to tell you more if you have an interest.

I thought I would retire as an elementary school teacher but after teaching for 10+ yrs I came home to raise my children. I found a new career with Work at Home United and love it, I am so passionate about the company's mission and helping others. This is now a lifelong career for me and the best part is the flexibility to earn six figures but work part time around my children's schedules.
