I’m getting a bit down

[billybrain]

I want to get in shape and loose weight to set a better example for my kids (and be around for my kids) and that also leads me to I want to change jobs to better fit my kids schedules, they are young and will be in school and get summers off and there are my parents and my wife’s parents but they are all in their mid to late 70s so how much longer can they really watch young kids and I am betting by the time they are teenagers they can’t and then I will have teenagers roaming free all day all summer and in this world that just ain’t a good idea In my opinion. So career change to teaching (I have even found a repuatable online program - but it does require student teaching) is what I want, it is what I wanted when I got out of high school (actually I wanted to go into teaching and then become a guidance counselor) but listened to the person that became my first wife and later ex-wife (we had no kids) and I went into computers since there was (per her) so much more money in it. Now my fear is that although it is better for my kids (and me) for me to go into teaching, we (my family and I) can’t afford it because I make more now than the average teachers starting salary
