I am 30 years old and feel that I'm too old to get in to a career. I excelled in school and have always considered myself intelligent, however I've been battling my demons for many years and have had to drop out of college 3 times with childcare issues. It feels now like its too late to get started in education, i have tried every year for 4 years now and things always tear down my plans (childcare, not being able to live on bursary etc). Im thinking home education is my only option but I worry about pushing myself to the limit with my children, home, studying and having literally no family for support or help, just to be rejected for jobs because i studied at home and other people went to university. Am I right or do i need a shake?
