I've popped into our local college today. Been to apply for a Teaching Assistants course. Starts in September. Have handed in my details and just need to wait now to hopefully get a phone interview.

I really need a new start.

I'm terrified! But i know that if i don't do it now i will end up in a rubbish job again that i do just for the sake of the money. I don't want that any more. I want a career!

I know exactly where you are coming from..my youngest is nearly 3 now, and I'm facing the 'what am I going to do' situation

I cant go back to being a florist as the hours dont suit a single parent, plus my arthritis in my hands will restrict me too much...so I'm thinking of what I want to do...I'm thinking along the lines of web designer...something I would love to be able to do

I have been contemplating going back to school, to ministerial school to become a Unity Minister. It's something I have thought about since I was 17 and now that I am actually getting the application for it, things are really up in the air with us. Where will we go??? The questions here far outweigh the answers at this point.

Anyway, If you know what you want to do, go for it! Certianty is something that I would love to have at this stage in the game, but I don't.

Lucky you! I am really happy for you.

Then go for it! Crikey, life is WAY too short to sit there wondering isn't it? I've "wondered" for 26 flaming years and i sit now here thinking... "What on earth was i thinking wasting 10 years working for a ginger clown who encourages obesity" I should be making a difference... enriching lives not helping to end them!!!

If it is something you want to do Lisa... then grab it and do it! For YOU!

I have to see what will happen with my husband and where we end up. I guess I should go ahead and apply, since it is correspondence school. I just hate having to go through the whole, change of address nonsense and with schooling, they always seem to get that messed up.

Anyone hiring a Chemist????
