I have a degree in modern languages, but after 12 years' taking care of the children am not sure where to start
Twice a week we publish the problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Guardian Money supplement so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy's own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
I am a 43-year-old mother of three who hasn't worked for 12 years. I graduated with a 2:1 degree in modern languages 17 years ago, and started, but never completed, a PGCE.
I worked in admin for a local authority and the NHS until my first child was a year old, fully intending to return to work within a few years, but then a couple more children and an economic downturn happened.
I now need to find something to do for my own sanity but don't know where to start. I am aware I will need to do some retraining. Any suggestions gratefully received.
