I am currently doing an access course in education and I am looking to send my application to UCAS in a couple of weeks, however I have a dilemma and I was hoping one of you wise people could offer me some advice.
There is a course offered called Primary Education which offers QTS which is my number one choice or my access course would allow me to apply for degrees in English, History or Education Studies after which I could take a PGCE.
I have read every horror story regarding teachers and I think I know what I am getting into although it's impossible to know for sure until you are actually experiencing it. Although I am set on becoming a primary school teacher and the degree offered would take me where I want to be, there is a niggling doubt about just how horrible being a teacher would be and will I be stuck with a degree in Primary education which could possibly leave me with a degree I cant use for anything else.
Going in the other direction will add and extra year of study which means I will be 40 when I graduate.
