For years I was constantly rejected. Last year I was offered a job at the age of 43 with BA. I turned it down as I was doing work to my house and was not ready for a drop in salary.I now want to reapply which means giving up my steady job as a teacher. I have 3 dependents but really want to experience this even for a few years.Can some one give me the push. I do not want to live in regret.Thanks Reply to this Question

reader, anonymous, writes (4 May 2009): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThank you all for taking the time to reply. I know Holly wanted more details. My children are 17, 14 and 6. I have a partner but we are not living together but he is all for me doing it but does not see that I can not if we do not live together as it will mean a struggle financially.
I think I have already made up my mind I am waiting for BA to start recruiting again. I am quickly trying to do up the house incase I have to rent it out and move near the airport.
I am feeling really down and do need a good holiday but as a teacher can not avoid too in peak period with 2 older children it costs a fortune. All my money is going into the house.
I keep thinking there most be more too live and I do want to go for it before it is too late and I do not want to live in regret. At work I am unappreciated, bullied and insulted by the students.
There must be more to life. I have also been thinking of emigrating and thought this would be a goood way to start making contacts. America has been calling me for over 20 years as I lived in the Caribbean before.
Any further comments most appreciatated.

DO IT!!!
Talk to your kids and I am sure they will be supportive.
They may have to tighten their belts but if they are old enough then encourage them to get a saturday job and then they can buy their own treats.
Go for it before you get too old or you will resnt your children and as soon as they leave home and you are on your own you'll turn into one of those "I'm just your poor old mother - you don't visit me enough and after everything I gave up for you. I should just die now! You wouldn't even care!" types.
Be a cool mother in law, not the one you consider dumping your partner to avoid.
Good Luck!! xx
