Torment ...

[Sensual Delights]

I applied this year to many many courses (as my dear Anna knows already )
All from level 6 to level 8, in Business, Accounts, Chemistry, Complementary Health Therapy etc ...

I was surprised to receive this morning a text message, an email and a letter about me getting a place on a level 8 course in Accounting & Finance. I am really tormented by this. This was my last application course with CAO, my first one being of a same type, in Business.

Working as a masseuse and getting a higher specialisation in accounts & finance
Who am I kidding? I already have a lower qualification there (level 6) and I do nothing with it.

Also ... if I actually accept this course, I won't have as much time for my massage services, which are my only bread and butter at the moment. That means I might find myself really short on cash sometimes.

There is the option that I go back to escorting for a while, so I can be able to manage both my studies and get also enough money to sustain myself. But for some reason I am a little afraid to do this

Do you see my torment?
Studying without a hope I can do something with the qualification in the real life, plus the money issues while I'll do it.
Not studying, meaning that I have no idea what I'll do in a few years time ...

I feel like this now ...

I would go for it if I were you. If you don't, you may end up regretting your decision later in life.

Some seem to be able to combine the two. Give it a try

As long as you are over 25 you dont need to apply through the CAO just apply to the college or univeristy of your choice directly and they will set up an interview for you to see if you can enroll.
All schools now offer a few places for mature students

Also you can apply to the open university and study online and that way you can manage your work around your schedule
County councis offer grants to students of about 2k every 3 mothns and government gives about 200e per week its not alot but it would help

The Open University seems like an excellent idea but I don't think I can remain commited enough for a few years to do all by myself.

When I did my level 6 accounting course I went to college the first year. I have passed all my exams with distinctions !

Second year, I did the course at home. I barely passed it. If anything I think they have been very kind to me as my taxation exam was a complete mess

Well, it doesn't make much of a difference now, as I have already received the CAO offer.
I have applied to some courses trough CAO and trough some others directly.

From the ones I applied directly, I received so far just an interview for a Complementary Health Therapy course.
If you can believe it, this is a 2 years full time course !!! I think I prefer a 3 years part time degree, seems more rewarding.

It doesnt make a difference you can still apply to other courses and some courses can be taliormade to suit you needs.
I myself have gone back to do a four year degree course and am at present in my final year.
Look around teh internet and even drop in to the socail welfare and ask to speak to the back to education department rhey might be able to point you in the right direction

The local welfare office seems a scary place for me.
Won't they be asking how I sustained myself since I gave up my last job in Feb 2009?

Sorry guys, I have to correct something here as I just spotted the mistake - should read "I prefer a 3 years full time degree"
