I am a trained teacher, desperate for a career change but every which way I try, I am blocked by my shitty third class degree. Which was crap, but it is a result of undiagnosed mh problems after being abused. Ironically, these same problems, having worked successfully through them now, are what inspire me to go into child protection. Nobody is interested in any of my child protection experience, my deputy headship and more. Each time I just come up against someone who says something like "Well, to do the BA you need BBC at A Level but we have to consider your degree...".
AIBU to ask if I can get away with forgetting my degree? I just want to be a Social Worker, I'd be brilliant I know it! Does anyone know any other way other than starting a degree again? I would obviously have to pay and that just isn't possible, even with Open University installments. Feel sad, old and washed up. 😢
