Dont know what to do!!!

Hi all

I currently work full time working nights 10-8am for Out of hours social services, I am a call advisor and worked here for 4 yrs gaining valuable information regarding social work. I also work in a residential childrens home 4 nights a month. Now i want to look into doing the DIP/SW (degree in social work) but with working full time , is it possible to do this part time, i can not afford to go part time in work due to having 2 young children and obviously having to provide for them. It can be quiet in work through the night so i can study then and get work done, I dont normally go to bed untill 2pm when ive worked cos ive been looking after my 2 y/o daughter while my partner works her part time job at the school. So i could go to uni/college of a day time. Can anyone help in giving me any advice cos i dont even know where to start. There is no opportunities in work for them to help fund me as i have already spoken with them and were no help

Thanks in advance
Andy

    Hi Andy, go and have a look at the Student board as I am sure there have been threads about the DipSW over there. You may have to widen the search criteria to include posts over a month old.
