A hnd could get me into the final year of one degree or more normally the 3rd year of another. Yeah I have a HNC in childcare and use to work in nurseries, I would love to childmind but my house is council and not in the nicest area, i doubt anyone would want to leave their kids here to be honest
If we were exchanged to a nicer area maybe, just sucks .. the only thing that makes it a bad area is neighbours, my garden is huge, downstairs flat is spacious .. I might see if one of my friends would want to start childminding with me but use their house, A friend of mine has a 2 bedroom private house (would need permission from landlord) she has the level below me in childcare and i have the level desired on top of 5 years experience, we have spoken about it being a possibility, by then we would both have kids, hers will be at nursery by then, i drive so could drive any older kids .. We would need to get care commission to come out and evaluate the place and safety check it, with 2 of us we could have up to 10 kids but because her house is only a 2 bedroom we would only get about 6 at most, competitive price rates would be 3.00 per child per hour so 18 an hour, we would divide by 2 which is 9 but then we would need to take money out for toys and stuff like that, insurances etc. so would probably take our wages down a bit.
Yeah thats what i've been thinking, and i told a friend my idea of having a child after my hnd and if i finally figure out what degree i wanna do then ill do it later and they said it was stupid
I have googled and googled universities and the courses they offer. I could maybe do forensics at abertay because they say with a relavent hnd i can go into 3rd year but i miss the 2 years prior knowledge and i don't think i could catch up because i don't have higher chem or bio so would be pretty impossible to catch up. 2 of the other degrees you don't need a degree to get a job they prefer experience which i have ... i just wish people would realise a degree isn't the be all or end all!
I considered doing the ba ASN and then 1 year post grad to do primary teaching, but the thought of being a teacher doesn't appeal to me anymore, it use to but now it doesn't even remotely sound good to me
I'm pretty sure once i get my hnd i'm just going to get a job and once i qualify for maternity leave we will try ... then after i think i will try be a childminder with someone, an ex colleague or a friend using their house
unless i have a sudden epiphany of what degree i want to do before then!
