Hi . . .
I've been thinking about changing my job (basically it is going when I get back from mat leave and the job I will be returning to is not what I would want to do in a million years!). . . so I've been wondering about the feasibility of doing a part time degree over 4 years . . or maybe try for a 1-2year apprenticeship. I have a 6m old on my own and very limited family, so I would have to pay childcare at least 3 days a week.
The advantage of the degree is that I could hang on to maybe a couple of days a week at my old job until I find something else. . this would also pay the fees which are £3500 a year.
The advantage of the apprenticeship is that it's over fairly soon, but requires full time attendance, you get about £400 a month :/ and the job at the end would probably have to be full time too.
Has anyone had any experience with this as a LP? Does any of this seem feasible with a young baby? I am the sort of person who would charge ahead and some sensible opinions would help me a lot :)
