I have a degree and at one point had a professional job but due to various reasons I left and now can't return (The job no longer exists). Fast forward several years, life has moved on and after spending some time at home, followed by a mundane office job I am now 'working' for H's (I can't put 'DH' it always strikes me as twee ) company. This equates to doing some accounts so I can be paid under his company. It works well as I am around for the DC's etc.
But I have this nagging feeling of failure for not having had a proper career. I am 40 now so I imagine it's all too late and besides I don't have a clue what I would do .
Even if I did find something I like I am thinking I would have to work FT to progress (certainly was my experience in my last job) which I can't do as H is unable to do school runs etc due to his work (yes I know it's an old chestnut but in our case it's true that he can't - his work is highly unpredictable in terms of hours).
