Retraining as a Speech and language therapist (or anything else!?) and looking after family at same time?

[helendeane]

Hi there,
Just wondering if anyone here has done an Msc in Speech Pathology. I'm interested in doing it but just don't know how I'd manage to fit it in while looking after our 3 kids. The course description says that it's an intense full-time 2 year course and that you do summer placements as well. So as far as I can tell, I'd have no time off for 2 years so the school summer holidays would obviously be a particular problem. My husband works too, sometimes away from home. He's really supportive of my plans but practically can't be of much help. Anyone else done this or something similar and have any suggestions? Thanks.
