some thoughts on possible jobs for me...
Jul. 18th, 2006 05:02 pmPeople keep suggesting I might really enjoy being a lactation consultant. They are probably right, but I'm not sure I would have any credibility, having failed to get my own child to nurse.
I wonder how I would do as a doula?
For much of my early adulthood I really wanted to be a midwife. I may still do that someday, but going back to school right now in any major way is just not feasible. I've also often thought about eventually becoming a therapist, especially a child therapist, but I'm becoming less enamored of the idea. It's a thought, however.
Both doula and lactation consultant are probably not long term career ideas for me. They are really more in the nature of things I might enjoy a lot for a while, until I figure out what I *really* want to do. (Although, maybe I will suddenly one day realize that I am 70 and have been happily doing this forever.)
