I hope I can join you. I'm almost 17 weeks with our first baby, due March 15. We are really excited.
Background about me: I worked in finance for five years, but now I teach fitness classes. H will finish grad school six weeks after the baby is due, so that should be a challenge!
Congratulations! Welcome to the board. How'd you go about switching from finance to fitness?!
Thanks!
I have always been interested in teaching, so I started talking to instructors at my gym about getting certified. I went with them to the annual conference and I taught part time and worked in finance both for a year. Then when I was laid off in April, I picked up more classes. I'm so much happier now that I'm teaching than I was before in the corporate world.
I used to work in finance too (consulting) and quit a couple of years ago. I'm so much happier now, and it was not exactly a family-friendly career path!
