Hi there.
I am canvassing opinion from those of you who may know regarding primary teaching. I am a 35 year old male. My working life so far has been in IT. I have recently moved to the civil service but I hate it so far. The work is pretty boring and leaves me cold and I am quite down about it. Its not in IT, thought I might like the career change, not so. I was in touch with my old boss yesterday who would have me back and am considering it.
My dream job would be primary teaching. This has been nagging me for 10 years now.
I have been weighing up the Hibernia Course as a semi part-time option. I however have a wife and 2 little ones so it's not a simple decision. My wife works part-time as they are young. I am frantically scrambling around for guidance on if it’s a crazy thought to try and do this course and work part-time. Are the job prospects just too prohibitive? I am in the west and would commute 90 mins e/w if necessary. I have been given various indications good and bad regarding being a male and the job prospects. I am actively involved in coaching in a few sports, Bord na nOg of GAA club etc. I love working with the little ones. Have volunteered for the Junior Achievement program in previous jobs, loved it.
Should I forget it or not?
