Perhaps you are someone who is unable to have children but desires a family, or you are a grandparent who wishes to reach out to children other than your own grandchildren. It’s possible to build a career that involves children besides teaching. If you have the love, patience, creativity and fortitude for this kind of work, opportunities abound. Here are some excellent careers for those with a heart for children.
Children’s Book Writer
If you have the time and resources to do so, you can start a writing career in children’s book publishing. Children of all ages are in need of exciting and educational books that help them understand their world and themselves better. Start by writing a few children’s stories each week and having a professional proofread them. Hire someone to illustrate images for the stories and instead of sending manuscripts to the major publishers, send them to independent publishers. Another option is to publish the books yourself.
