Ok so thought I'd ask complete strangers what they think. As many of you know I spend a great deal of time caring both for my own girls and in a voluntary capacity with children at risk. I have just finished a dip in counselling and also have an associate diploma. I am thinking of doing a social welfare degree but am limited because I can't get out of the house easily for extended times. So I am again thinking of doing one by distance. So here's the thing, those closest to me think that while I have the capacity to achieve this my girls should be my focus and since there is a good chance I may not work full time that I should just concentrate on them.
I disagree, why should I be limited why can't I focus on them as well as achieving other things that put me in good stead for employment later down the track? Some argue that I have enough qualifications as it is to obtain employment again, so why push it. But I like to think outside the boundaries others set for me!!
I don't know maybe I should take a year off and think about it? Decisions, decisions....
