I have hit a Career Brick Wall, don't know what to do

[chocolatemummy]

I am 33 this month, quite well educated and lots of experience in my area of work.
I feel like to really make a difference I am going to need to go back and retrain or do another qualification as I don't seem to be getting anywhere and I am surrounded by people at work who hate their job and its so soul destroying
what do you all do for a job and do you enjoy it?

Once DS is at school I'm hoping to retrain to become a primary teacher (through the GTP course) and before I had kids, owrked as an admin officer for DEFRA. I mostly enjoyed it but it was never a career but fitted in with my DH's job that moves around the country.

What do you do that is making you want to do something else?

I enjoy my area of work just that I can't seem to get up the ladder and have earned basically the same wage for the last 6 years I have had three jobs-left first due to pregnancy, second one I was made redundant from, this one is temporary, Fed up
I work in Social care/social work, didnt get my SW qualification but did a degree in Social Policy and have done counselling training and Care qualifiactions too so over qualified for most things I go for but can't afford to do SW degree as it would mean leaving work

I mean't I have had 3 jobs in last 6 years, worked before that obviously and studied for 6 years at college and uni, feels like it was a waste of time as I am on shite money really

can you study part time?

Could you not use your counselling in more of a specific way?

I am going to study part time, I just don't know what to study really, and its so bloody expensive!
there are a few OU course I fancy but its £500 plus for each module, I guess its an investment but it does feel a bit like, "havent I done a degree etc before"
Counselling is very hard to do, I havent got a high enough qualification specifically in counselling to actually do it independently.
I am just at a bit of a crossroads at the moment

what about something that's very transferable so whatever it is that you study, you apply for lots of different jobs afterwards that use those skills.What OU courses were you thinking you might fancy?
