Okay I am very bad at decision making, and I mean absolutely terrible so thought I would post here and see what suggestions are made!
I want to study Psychology at the uni near me. It's my lifelong ambition and I'm so determined to do it. However... I never got any Level 3 qualifications as I had to leave college due to my mental health. I'm now 22, so I would need to do an Access to Higher Education course to get in.
The benefit is that if I attend college, I won't pay course fees because of my age and because of it being my first Level 3 qualification.
However, I've recently been offered a job at a mental health charity, something that I would love. It's 28 hours per week though so I won't be able to attend college for a full time course!
I'm also getting married this November so I need some form of income, even if it's just part time money.
I can't decide what to do - if I leave college another year, I'm a lot closer to having to pay fees and I don't know if I should take the risk in case the government changes anything. It also means another year later to going to uni, and as I'll be married, I do want children at some point so not sure how long I want to leave it.
However if I DO go to college, I'd be turning down this awesome job. But this job isn't forever - they have initial funding for a year but they have no idea if it will get any longer due to it being the first project of its kind.
They have an open day at the college tomorrow which I'll need to go to to try get a space.
What shall I do?!
