I gave up work 4 years ago due to my role being very demanding and my health was suffering. I had always wanted to do a degree and have just finished my first year with really good results and I love learning.
However, when I started I was being helped financially by my father, but recently his business (that he has not worked in for 8 years) went into administration which mean no more help although father is still financially secure (thank goodness).
My husband wants me to continue as I have gained so much from it and is encouraging me to train as a teacher afterwards (Sociology/Psychology). I am 47 so am I being foolish to a)continue and do teacher training b)continue with degree and then go back to my previous line of work c) just continue for the love of learning?
