I'm having trouble finding work. I can't get into administration, because I took so many years out to be home with the kids. I can't get into unskilled work because of my qualifications. Employers say I'm 'over qualified'.. which I think is bull. At the moment I'm volunteering in a charity shop so I can say that I have 'retail experience'. There's usually loads of retail jobs but they always want experience, so I figure this might be the way to go.

I could probably make more money in an office, but I'd need to go to college and essentially do the same stuff I've already done just so it's up to date. :/

I'd possibly get college paid for me at the moment, because my husband doesn't earn that much, so our family income would qualify us for fee waivers or whatever, but I don't know if that's the right road to take either.

Piss off and stop being nosey. Just kidding...

I'm a political agent right now, but it wasn't what I saw myself doing. I have a law degree so I'm going to take my bar qualification to be a barrister, which is what I wanted to do initially.

Maybe it's a perfect time for you to have a change of direction, and if you can do it without saddling yourself with tuition fees, even better. You know what they say... find a job you love and never work again. Hope you work it out and find a job or a course that's perfect for you.
