[quote=Anonymous]So, I've been a SAHM ever since my 4 year-old was born. I also have a 19 month-old. I am 39 years-old and am positively done having kids. Pre-kids, I was a graphic designer. I have no interest in returning to that profession in any capacity. I want to start paving a new career path now so that when I'm ready to re-enter the workforce in the next year or so, I will be prepared. Laying the groundwork now, so to speak.

While I am not sure what exactly it is I want to do, I do have some criteria in mind. I DO NOT want to sit at a desk all day. I am antsy by nature and this drives me absolutely up the wall. A job requiring physical exertion would be great, as my personal fitness is important to me. I would, of course, like to have the flexibility to be able to participate in my young kids' school lives, i.e., transporting them to and/or from school, school events, etc. I would like this new career to be at the very least, somewhat rewarding -- perhaps one helping people, the community, the environment, creative fulfillment, yada yada..

I'm open to almost anything whether it be law enforcement, medicine, the arts, parks and recreation, social work, advocacy, etc. I just want something where I'm moving around (both figuratively and literally) -- not in some static place of daily looping mundanity.

Am I dreaming?[/quote]
