I’m Stuck in a Rut!!?

Question by Fabbymummy: I’m stuck in a rut!!?
I have 7 standard grades, a NC (national certificate) in pre-nursing, HNC (higher nat.cert) in health care and did 2yrs as a student nurse but had to come out of course due to family commitments at the time. I I don’t know what to do as a job, have been to see a career advisor. My ideal job is working with families as a social worker but I can’t go to uni till my family are a bit older. Is there something like this i could do for now, oviously less pay but working wi kids with issues. I don’t know what kind of job title that would be….anyone got any advise (pls no suggesting nursing homes!)
