[quote=Anonymous]I agree with others who have mentioned becoming an EL teacher. OR look for a way to switch into a teaching role where you don't have your own classroom--math coach, gifted teacher, reading specialist. I have several friends who have moved into those roles after having kids and find it much more doable. As for other options--SLP requires a masters and is a lot of work. You might consider a career switch that just involves an associates degree--like a dental hygenist, a physical therapy or occupational therapy assistant, etc. The pay is surprisingly high and jobs in health care often come with good benefits. And school systems hire PTAs and OTAs--if you like the school environment. I'm a fellow single mom, and I personally would not feel comfortable trying to move into some kind of nebulous position---I'd look for a solid, specific career you know is in demand. [/quote]
