Answer 1

People with many children have many different jobs. If you have a well-paying job, you can better afford day care or a nanny for your children if you decide to keep working. The better the pay the more children you can afford to pay for care for.

If you're wanting to be a "house mum", I'd recommend a teacher. You can then do tutoring from home or work part-time or do in-home day care. After all your children are in school, you can always teach full-time.

If you work for a magazine, you might be able to work from home or write freelance.

You might also be able to have a part-time or flexible schedule as a nurse.

I really don't think the number of children you have and the career you choose are all that related. I guess some might make it easier, some more difficult, but these things always seem to work themselves out.

Answer 3

:-) How many is "a lot"?

A psychologist is going to be higher paying than the others...and like someone said...it may help with child care payments if you do decide you need to continue to work.

If you worked at a magazine...doing the articles, etc...this may be something you can continue at home while the children are at home with.

What type of worker at the children's hospital? It's the RN's that are in "need" right now in most hospitals but they aren't that great paying :-)  And we know the more children we have the greater the cost is going to be.  

I'm a little confused though... if you are going to be a stay at home mom...why does it matter what your degree is in.  Choose something YOU want...not dependent on how many children you have...the reality is that you may not be able to have as many as you would like.

One last thought...if you qualify as a teacher you will be able to offer something to community, if you decided you needed to have income...as a family or group home child care provider.  Remember though, if a family home (at least in our state) it's only 6 children-including your own under a certain age and a group home is 12 children-including your own under a certain age.  

Good luck in your decision making.  I think it is wise to have a degree to fall back on if necessary.  :-)

Answer 4

Operate your own in-home day care business, that way you can have all the kids you want and be with them at home all the time.

Answer 5

A psychologist seems like the best job.

You make plenty of money for a family and when you learn about the brain you could have more perspicacity about children.
