My husband is in the Army and we have been based overseas for the last 2 years. Just before that I was made redundant from my job in finance and I have not worked since because a; there are no dependants jobs here and b; I have had a baby (nearly a year old now).
We are now in a position where we might be posted back to the UK for his final posting and I will have to work. My dilemma is do I study for my financial advisor exams (I am currently qualified as a mortgage advisor but have been out of the market for 2 years) or do I retrain completely. If I retrain completely I have no idea what to do.
I also don’t know what the job market is like back in the UK at the moment. Whilst initially I would do anything to get some money coming in, I do need to settle on a career at some point.
We are talking about trying to immigrate to Canada 5 years after he has left the Army.
What would you do?

The final decision is entirely down to you. If you enjoy working in finance then personally I would stick with what you know, particularly as you’ve been out of the job market for a couple of years, and try to work in the financial sector whilst training for your financial exams.
With regard to the employment opportunities, it varies considerably from area to area. You will need to investigate into the location once you husband has received information. The government keeps telling us that UK economy is improving, and our prediction would be more people will be looking for mortgages more and more in the future.
