I have an English degree, and getting a job as an administrative assistant at a university was the best thing for my career. People look down on administrative assistant work, because it doesn't necessary need a degree, but it is a great entry-level job and can pay really well, plus you learn all about the field you are working in. Working at a university is awesome for English majors. You may be able to pick up some college-level teaching experience. I taught a study skills class without a masters degree. You have access to a world-class library, and there are promotional opportunities. |
sounds like you're going through a lot. my husband was a youth pastor for a while & it is a really tough job. it is so demanding & our experience was similar to yours, that boundaries and nights/days off were hard to define or enforce. my husband is now a full-time worship pastor, and although we don't struggle with time-off and healthy boundaries, we do still struggle financially. like you, we really want to make my being at home a priority. i just read another thread here that discussed a legitimate work-at-home job. i applied tonight. can't hurt, right? here's the link:
