Hi all, I’m looking for some feedback and ideas. This may sound convoluted and confusing-I’m just putting my thoughts to words as I go along.

My husband is an amazing man. He has been at the same job for 12 years and works 64-84 hours a week and has 3 weeks off a year so he’s basically always at work. He doesn’t mind working long hard hours, but his soul is not being fulfilled and he feels called to do something else. Problem is, he feels financially stuck and the field he thought he was supposed to go into just slammed all the doors shut. He wanted to become a police officer but on the background check they asked if he’s ever given his prescriptions to anyone to which he said yes. He gave me antibiotics when we were dating and I had no insurance. He thought that being honest and saying why would be a good thing but they came back saying he is disqualified for being a drug dealer. He cried. I cried. Now, he is thinking fire fighter. He has a very caring and thoughtful heart. He aches when he sees others in pain, so I fear that both police and fire would hurt his heart a lot. It’s becoming more clear to me that he wants to be in some sort of service. From my own observations I see that he is very comfortable giving advice, listening, coaching and things along those lines. Here’s my main question: what are other fields or jobs he can go into that make a decent living? I’m a stay at home mom and childcare is too expensive in our area. My gift and talents come in the form of loving and teaching children. I was a supervisor at a early childhood center for 10 years prior to becoming a stay at home mom. Now, I watch 3 other kids from our home for a form of income. I love love love it and want my husband to have his soul as fulfilled as mine is.
