What is my career plan?

As I am approaching graduation I have been thinking about about my career. I am taking a different path that a lot of designers I am going to school with because of my circumstances. I have a 3 year old at home and another baby due next month. My husband is also in school and has 2 more years. I love graphic design and I want to be able to use the skills that I've learned. But with my circumstances it is not really an option for me to go to work somewhere because I have 2 children I'd have to pay for daycare and a husband who is in school full-time. I also can't be flexible to move. We need to stick around here until my husband finishes and then we are going where ever he gets a job.

So keeping all that in mind I have thought the best option for me would to just be a freelance designer or get on with a company that lets me do work from my house. This is my ideal job because I get the best of both worlds, working and staying home with my kids. If things work out when we get settled and my kids get a little older if the opportunity came up for me to be able to go work for someone I would love to be able to do that. This is one of the reasons why I don't want to just do nothing after I graduate. I need to stay on top of design as best I can so that I am prepared for the time when I am able to go work for a company.
