Im a single mum to 3 children and this september my youngest starts school.
Im a stay at home mum. I find it hard being at home.
I have no qualifications and no proper working experience as I have been home with my children.
I so want to work but as a single parent need a good income as I cant rely on the ex as he has completely turned his back financially. He pays maintenance, very little. So much has happened over the last 2 years, I cant ever rely on him for anything.
I have the opportunity to study in september but Im unsure what to do. I have always wanted to be a midwife but never thought I was academic enough. Iv looked into an access course and it seems pretty intense.
Iv also looked into beauty therapy but people say Im too old. Im 34. They say its about getting a job at the end that matters, which it most definitely is as this is my last chance to study. I have to work after as I will have a mortgage to pay.
I know it should be my choice but I just want to make the right decision. I honestly dont know what to do. If I could work tomorrow I would but with my background no one is going to give me that chance.
I was wondering if anyone could advise me (help me make a decision) as Im at a crossroads in my life and feel its such a big decision I have to make. My family depend on me, me alone now.
