I'm at a point where I am able to study and start building a career.
I am starting from the bottom and am currently taking my English, Maths and Biology GCSE for the first time. (I already have functional skills in both maths and English at level 2)
I was set on getting my GCSE's then doing an access to nursing and then going to uni and getting a nursing degree in adult nursing.
However, since being in education I have remembered how much I love English and I enjoy my lessons so much I've been driving back to ab idea I had many years ago about being an adult English teacher but I've no idea what that would entail (qualifications wise) and if there's a lot of call for it.
Nursing was attractive because there's a lot of work available (I live next to a hospital)
I have a lot of experience nursing within my own family and I'm currently a care assistant so it seemed like a natural pathway for me but I can't help thinking that it would be a waist of my love of English if I didn't give the teaching idea a thorough looking at.
I know neither career are great in terms of stress, conditions and treatment by the government etc but that's not what I'm asking about.
Thanks in advance if anyone has an option or advice on this.
