Evening all,
So I have been finding it hard to decide on a career for me. I have a level 3 in Childcare and Education and recently just completed a Level 1 Forest Schools and Level 2 Teaching Assistant. I am currently doing Level 1 Psychology with Wirral Life Long Learning and I am thinking of doing Level 2 in September…
I’m currently a Reading Mentor with the Johnson’s Foundation that I volunteer with once a week, and in two weeks I’m hoping to start volunteering in a classroom for two mornings a week.
I’ve always wanted to work with SEN children as I feel connected in a way but as much as I love the children and I am excited to start the volunteering, I’m worried that I won’t enjoy it as training and a job are two completely different things. Also with a lot of people leaving education because of really low pay/being overworked I’m unsure on my career choice.
If I don’t go with that choice I have no idea what career to go with. I feel like the only choice I have is working with children as that’s the only qualification I have.
I was thinking maybe try something with psychology but to go anywhere with that I would need to go to Uni for about 4 years.
So I am really stuck, and have no idea what I am going to do. I just feel lost in life and unsuccessful. I just would like to feel accomplished and proud of what I have done.
Any ideas or advice? x
