Hiya, really looking for some advice/expertise..
I’ve always wanted to be a midwife but didn’t consider it straight after school, didn’t do any science A Levels (I got ABB in english lit, english lang & psychology) and went on to study English at uni. I now work in the education sector (office based role, not a teacher). I am in my mid-20s.
I’m starting to reconsider the midwifery route and appreciate it would mean taking Biology A Level (could I do this at a local college?) and doing another degree. I also know how hard it is to get onto the course.
Can anyone please advise on funding for a 2nd degree as I don’t think the NHS find this and not sure I can get a student loan as before? Also how can I pay rent alongside this all? And a way to get some experience beforehand to see if it’s definitely something I should do? And finally, is it worth it? We all hear horror stories about working for the NHS and I know it’s not a job I’ll earn a fortune in, but I just want to something I’ve always been interested. I would really appreciate any advice you can give, thank you!
