Hi, I wasn't sure if I should have posted this in the work section so apologies if this is in the wrong place!
As the title suggests, I've just accepted my qualification of a 2.1 joint honours degree. I'm really pleased as I was convinced I'd get a Desmond! I also completed and passed a Cert Ed course that qualifies me to teach adults but there are very few jobs near me unless you can teach maths and the few that exist are all casual. I want stability.
I'm a single mum working part time in retail (don't want to do this long term) and I also volunteer for Citizens Advice which I enjoy. I'm also due to start volunteering for Mind. I'm hoping that this will give me some experience related to psychology which is what half of my degree is in.
I've volunteered for various organisations and really enjoy helping people and working in the charity sector. Charities also seem to be more understanding and flexible with working hours. I was speaking to someone who works for a charity and she was saying if a child was in a school play, she could attend it and make up the hours. Am I better off looking for a paid position in a not for profit organisation?
I want a job that is reasonably paid that uses my degree/skills. I have no family support but have access to childcare that opens from 7:30am until 6pm. I don't drive due to financial issues but hope to start my lessons again when I have more money coming in.
Does anyone have any ideas about possible careers? The information I've found online seems to be aimed at 21 year olds with no children who can work all hours.
