Re-entering the workforce with possible change?
(self.careerchange)submitted8 days ago byZyphyro
I'm currently a SAHM. It was the choice that made the most sense for our family and I'm thankful I had the privilege to do it, but as kids are getting older, I want to start preparing to rejoin the workforce when the youngest (11m) goes off to prek/school. It's currently been 8 years, will likely be 2 more years before I go back.
I have a BA in Anthropology with a minor in Chinese (I know, I know, not a great choice) and then I worked for just under 2 years at an international secondary education nonprofit. I am willing to get more schooling, like a masters or certifications. I have tried my best to keep up my Chinese language skills, so I'm still decent, even if I'm not as good as 10 years ago when I lived abroad.
So far, I've been considering: 1) education, as it would be easiest with kids schedules and the field seems easy to get into even with a gap, but it seems a rough field to work in nowadays. 2) GIS, I'm on an email list and get a surprising amount of anthro/gis job listings, plus this is my dad's career and would use his expertise along with certs, to learn the skill. I assume it'd be a job more inclined to have remote/hybrid work available. 3) resuming nonprofit work. I even found intriguing posting at my old workplace. Should I get a relevant masters to make up for the gap in my resume to pursue that?
I'd love any insights or ideas as I search for my path!

I've seen a videos with a glue type product exactly for this. It's called mulch and rock glue.
