didnt know where else to put this question but would welcome opinions

as some of you may know, my H went off with someone in Nov and now lives 150 miles away... so no help with kids (4 and nrly 2)

I work part time in IT and I HATE IT. For about 10 yrs I have wanted to be a Primary school teacher but the snag is I dont have a degree. When I was 18 I applied to uni but when it came down to it, I didnt want to go. Not held me back - I have a good job in IT and it pays well (full time) but I cant face another 25 yrs

so do I
a) give up work, go to uni full time to get a degree and then train - 4 years
b) stay in IT cos when both kids at school I will be able to earn more money for us

I guess its the fact that I wont qualify til Im 40 AND whether I can afford to do this on my own

Definitely not too old. I have taught people in their 60s and 70s! Over-30s are by far and away the best students! Go for it! Good luck!
