Volunteering? Study? or Money?

31 August, 2011

We all have crossroads in our lives but what if you are presented with spaghetti junction? I had it all planned out on paper what I would be doing now that the boys are all more independent of me - however on my planning list I forgot to write down a money tree so will have to be inventive.

BB has qualified as a teacher (primary), we got the confirmation letter the other day and the graduation ceremony is in October.  I am so very proud of him, he has worked so hard and please take heed - if you are thinking of returning to study - what time you think you may need as in 4 hours a week to cover the course work - triple it!!

So my plan was to go back to study as a counsellor, this I am doing and this week it all starts again as I go back to uni.  Included in this course, I have to do volunteer work  (you have to build up working hours in clinical and non clinical fields) - this I am also doing, anything up to 8 hours a week.

However, one word MONEY!!

BB hasn't found a job yet though he is signed with a recruitment agency - the teaching posts will start to be advertised again soon but in the mean time one is on the bones of ones bottom!!  I refuse to give up my dreams and my plans so I am going to work myself into a walking coma and look for a part time job!!

PS - thinking of doing a certificate in Indian head massage in sept too!!!
