As the title suggests, I am contemplating on enrolling on the degree mentioned above. Bit of background, I am a Sahm (8years) of 4 kiddos, youngest being 3 and have always wanted to undergo degree level study but due to so many setbacks I have never completed.
A few years ago, I began my studies but had to bail after 6 months as my youngest was so demanding, and I felt I wasnt supported as much.
Fast forward 3 years and now my partner is happy for me to enrol (previously it was mostly me pushing it) and my youngest will began Nursery. And I really want to apply before the October 2020 deadline.
My main goal would be to qualify as a teacher as tbh that was my childhood dream, and I don't want to live with regrets and what ifs. Eventually, I'd love to do something along the lines of maybe opening my own Tuition centre or if I go down the Early Years route then perhaps open my own Nursery. Another dream would be to migrate at some point and work overseas as a Teacher in warmer climates. I've never disclosed this to anyone as it sounds outrageous, but it's time I address my goals in life.
There's no burning desire for me to start work because my partner is the main breadwinner and that's how it's always been. Ovbiously, if a suitable job arises and if circumstances allow, I would happily join the working world.
Obviously, life is crazy busy anyway and adding studies into the mix is a asking fir trouble, but I want to hear from anyone who has taken a similar path or anyone with some sound advice.
Exhale....
