Educator very interested in the Huntsville/Decatur area... (credit, debts)

[ambersmom722]

Hello all...

I have fallen in love with this area of the state. I never knew such a nice place existed. (born and raised in GA but attended Alabama State University) My question/concerns are:

I am a single mom , age 35 (one child who is 1)
I am a teacher (12 yrs..elementary level)
I would love to start afresh and new

With that being said..

A major part of me would love a career change or at least try another area of education. I have researched jobs and I just dont see where I could possibly fit in with an education degree. I would love to try another field and was wondering if the major companies there are willing to take chances with people and train them..(I AM READY TO LEARN) I have no big issue remaining in education (feeling stuck in a rut these days) But I would love a different spin to what I do.

Also, with me being a single mom doing it all on my own..Im concerned about the costs. (daycare, renting, buying..etc) right now, I do not have a car note, but my credit isnt the bestdue to a rough streak I encountered shortly after the birth of my child that just kept going and going and going.

I am doomed? Do you think people would be willing to work with me? (I am repaying my debts now..through a credit counseling service) Does anyone think that I have a fighting chance on making a move?

Sorry for the long post..but there is just much I've been wanting to type for a few days. THank you in advance!
