Will the nanny get a remake?

I don't know what kind of job to get? Sick of being a nanny?

• I have been in childcare for about 7 years now. I used to enjoy it but now I hate it. Every nanny job I get I get totally taken advantage of. Because they all want to pay me under the table they will pay me ridiculously low amounts (as in 5 bucks an hour) and expect me to clean their house and cook their dinner and care for the kids. I am sick of the instability of these jobs. Yet...childcare is all I know. I don't know what else to do. I don't like working in daycares and I don't like being a nanny. Now I'm focusing on having my own child and suddenly I realized I've always wanted to be a mom, not a nanny. This is not my career choice. But I fear I have no other skills? Clearly I need to reconsider my major too. Any advice on how to figure out where to go?

• Answer:

  I would have fun playing the job field until you figure out what you really want to do. One of my all time fav jobs was working as a cook at a franchise restaurant. Great people, used your skills, fast paced, solo work in a team environment, and I personally have to do something in which I use my hands It's not something a business woman may call successful, but if it makes you happy and pays the bills, that's all you need. That is success in my opinion. There are a lot of good jobs our there, that are for some reason looked down on by college/university majors. Even if it's not something you want to do forever, it'll give you time (and the financial means) to figure out what your really interested in
