Hello,
I'm 24 with 4 kids, and I have been highly considering going back into education and getting my degree. I have 3 fields of interest - social work being my top choice, nursing and forensic science.
Is going back into education attainable with 4 children? What are the courses like? Tips and advice?
Thankyou :)

Of course it is. I did it with more. If you want it, you'll do it. Social work can be tricky with placement requirements and childcare though.
