What are you here for

[dooberywotsit]

Oh and yes, animal care is my first love, really. I'm 37 now, which is a little late to realise you're making a mistake with your career! But if I don't do it now, I never will. Two years for a National Certificate, two evenings a week. I said I'd never do another course after my degree..... d'oh!

it's never too late. if you wanna do it, just do it. what's the worst that could happen?

I could over-stretch myself, working full time and trying to complete a course, get stressed out, fail the course, have a nervous breakdown and lose my job (and home) through sickness? :ninja:

Ever the optimist, me!

I'll do it, and I'll most definitely enjoy it more than any design course I've done. Why on earth did I listen to people telling me which career I'd be best at? If any of you lot have kids, make sure you encourage them to follow whatever career they want to do. I could'v been following my dream of being a goat herder by now.

Bootle on Merseyside. It's lovely here, honestly. I've just been outside shouting at students again! Well worth the commute, wherever you are.
