Just interested to hear from anyone who joined a grad scheme as a mature student. I am
Currently a SAHM to DD who is 10 months old. Prior to having her I worked as a PA at a variety of investment banks / magic circle law firms in the city but have decided not to go back after maternity leave. I am currently halfway through a degree in History with the OU, due to finish in 2016. I don't want to go back to PA work, always had considered teaching but I have been doing some voluntary work in a school recently and I don't think it is for me - and speaking to the teachers has shown me it's definitely not the family friendly option I naively thought it might be. So I have been looking into grad schemes but would I be considered on an even footing along with the younger grads from more traditional unis ? Are they realistically doable with a family ? I will be 29 when I finish my degree if all goes to plan.
