Q I AM about to return to work after seven years off raising a family but I am not sure I am cut out for the corporate rat race. What should I do? - Maggie, Paisley.

A RETURNING to work after such a long period is going to be difficult but give it a couple of weeks and you will be surprised how settled you become. If you find after a couple of months you are hating it, consider your options. You could follow your passion rather than doing something that just pays the bills.
