looking for advice/recs from working mamas
Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice from moms who work without a college degree and don’t have childcare during the day.
I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and my husband works until around 3 PM, so I’m mostly looking for evening jobs or flexible work I could realistically do after he gets home. I have a high school diploma and some college credits, but no degree yet.
I’m trying to figure out either:
- a certificate or associate’s degree I could start online that would actually lead to a decent job, or
- evening/night jobs that hire without a degree
I’d really like to avoid restaurant/food industry work if possible. I’m open to remote work, healthcare/admin type jobs, office work, certifications, trade programs, or honestly anything that has decent long-term potential and works around parenting schedules.
For moms who’ve been in a similar situation:
* What jobs worked for you?
* What certificates or programs were worth it?
* Are there any flexible careers you wish you started sooner?
* How did you balance it without daytime childcare?
I’d really appreciate honest advice or ideas because I’m feeling a little stuck trying to figure out a realistic path forward. Thank you ❤️
