Please help... teaching or law......?..........?

Sorry, but this posting begs belief, it really doesn't make sense and belittles any rationality you may have. Firstly as an adult, that presumably has attain what you state you have, children and maturity, you should know that a qualified lawyer does not start earning big income from graduation. You'll be lucky to get a firm to employ you straight away, unless you are exceptionally good and even then the Firms, that do employer law graduates usually go for Ox/bridge ones. uming you do find a firm that would employ you, you must realise that after graduating in Law, you will spend another year doing your Bar Exams, if you want to be a Barrister/Solicitor. Then you start as a trainee with a law Firm and the starting pay is basically 23K. If you prefer Teaching, isn't this what you should aim for. You sound too money obsessed and you don't appear to have the maturity of your conviction, neither does it appear you have even, carefully thought out what you want for the future. From what you've written and how its narrated, you come across as an impulsive person who acts before thinking, perhaps that's why you decided on children first before attaining a career and why you think money first rather than job or career satisfaction.
