Is it too late for me?

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?

Would doing an apprenticeship maybe be an option, so that you can earn while you’re training? It must be hard when you have no family support... perhaps once both children are at school it might be easier, wraparound childcare is cheaper then? Good luck x

Of course you’re not too late! I turn 30 soon and have just started a midwifery degree
