As I just can't decide.
I've been a sahm since 2005.
I have an MSc in marketing (2001) and a post graduate diploma in direct marketing.
I worked for 3 and a 1/2 years in an agency doing direct marketing.
Obviously the direct marketing world has moved on hugely since I did that.
A local marketing college runs intensive courses for marketing professionals. They are desperate for tutors.
I've been offered two days of intensive teaching direct marketing and sales promotion to marketing professionals.
There are over 100 slides all prepared and apparently, all I have to do is deliver them to the students, as it were.
I wouldn't just do that though. I don't like powerpoint much and I know I'd spend hours researching, brushing up, developing tasks etc for the intensive study days.
Plus I've never worked in sales so I wouldn't have any real professional understanding there.
I don't think I will take this teaching job because I've not worked in the field for ten years. The people I will be 'teaching' will be active and working.
I will feel like a fraud and I'm really not certain i can get up to speed with everything in time for next month.
I need to let them know by Monday.
Can anyone give me some perspective on this? Am I just being a coward?
Would this be a good why to get back into work?
I don't want to teach much but I guess the money would be useful.
Why do I feel like I am just not capable and should not do this.
Long post. Sorry.

I'm going to turn this down. Can you tell me if you think I'm doing the wrong thing?
