I never knew how I was going to pay for it.  I just did it, and then looked around.  The university is a great source for employment as well.  A lot of work to be had in and around campus.

Oh I will do it, it's a definite for me as it's learning about something I love: children
Money isn't much of a an object tbh, and I always believe educating yourself is a sound financial investment.

I want to work with children but not sure whether to stay in schools, or go into sign language and working with deaf children.

Hahahahahaha yeah I'm not very smart when it comes to politics - you lot on here and flap run rings around me! - but I do speak from the heart and yes, I've been called carefree many a time. My parents despaired of me (my mum still does)
I Live for the day. It's a good job my OH is the opposite mostly x

I wouldn't worry about the politics eddie because most people that are interested in it are boring farts.

Of course, there are always a few exceptions.

  regards to politics, I can't seem  to decide which wing I sit on, left, right....Shake it all about etc

That's the stuff eddie. Just do the hokey pokey and it will all shake out in the way you want.

Hang in there girl - you'll get there.

Still, there is nothing better than a mum approaching you and saying that her son or daughter has rawly become interested in reading be due of my storytelling or that a shy little girl has really come out of her shell because I've helped build her confidence....

That's really rewarding.   When my kids were little and I was at home I used to do reading with the tinies at the school, and also cooking.   My, they used to love making bread because they could give it a real good thumping!

I keep telling you, you are not thick!
you have a natural affinity with children. And you are right, seeing someone you have helped grow in confidence is priceless and no book learning or job title can give you that

Thought my ears were burning   

It's not a bachelors quill im not that devoted or focused I'm afraid   

It's a college course that also relies on work placement etc but a recognised and respected qualification.

I was going to go into teaching and become a teacher (get a degree) but tbh, a teachers assistant doesn't make that much less that  a teacher and still does all the fun stuff.
