Life choices!

So last week I was sitting in the sun, chatting with a friend about what lay ahead for me.  To study and become an Early childhood teacher or not.

It plays heavily on my mind which to choose.  And the more I think about the more confused I find myself!

I'd given myself till June....all the while awaiting for life's to send me a sign....a lightning bolt.  So far I've had a few electric shocks prodding me down the study road but is that enough?

With all major life choices in life there should always be a pro and con list.....this is my thoughts on it so far:

PRO's for Early childhood teaching:
- Maybe possible to work locally
- Good to have 'trained' in a profession
- I'm good at it
- I enjoy it
- Always wanted to make a difference in the world, perhaps nurturing wee people is that way
- could use to become a PORSE programme tutor if I didn't like centre work

CON's:
- 3 years study - HUGE commitment
- Financial cost of studying for 3 years
- increased pressure on family
- not sure I'm interested in working in a large childcare centre - hours, school holidays etc
- could kill my social life!!

And I still need to factor in that I'm chief housekeeper, child carer, cook and organiser into the equation......

The whole reason I started this blog was to decide what I wanted to be when I grow up.  36 years old, you would think I would have a clue by now but alas no.  I've "fallen" into alot of things during my journey and I always give them 110%.  Does that mean this is the right thing for me?  And if it isn't then what is?

FRICK FRICK FRICK!
