What to do in life??
I'm nearing 27, I've finished having kids with 3 in 3 years. With my youngest a few months old it's time to study and get focused on starting a long term career. Problem is I have no idea what I want to do. I love animals. My dream job is a rspca inspector but those jobs are few and far between and usually offered in house. Before babies I was an apprentice electrician but due to a back injury I can no longer return to this or any other excessively labour intensive job like nursing/ building/ ect. I'm also lacking confidence and suffer depression/anxiety and have a fear of failing. I'm at a loss of what to do and where to start. I do have a supportive husband who is happy with whatever i decide. Problem is he's currently in the military so away often

I think you should organise some old fashioned work experience/volunteer work. Find out what gets you interested then go from there.
You could also pick a course that sort of transfers over from industry to industry's or get some skills up and then decide what you want to do.
If you can afford it, I say study!
You have your passion and your dream job, work towards that!
I am a single mum ( dad was 3000k's away) I decided to study while my girl was at child care.
The hours allow you to get to "school" and it gets cheaper while you study.
It was financially hard while I was studying but now I'm qualified I love my job!
I love going to work and having " me/grown up time and contributing to sisiaty...
I was in rut before I went out of my comfort zone, I wasn't me, I was stressed and a grumpy mum!
I have recently moved ( after I completed studying) an hour away from where we were to be closer to family, so if I am desperate they are always there to help babysits.
You are still you even though you are a mum!
Follow your dreams!
Ps you can always call a tafe to see how to achieve your dream.. they will point you in the right direction!
