Hey thank you all for the well wishes. I’m not sure if I’ve passed unfortunately,
pretty sure I failed one of the elements which is a full fail, it absolutely tested me to my limits both physically and mentally, but won’t know for 10 days. Although it has highlighted that I’m not sure if the career is right for me at this time Of my life as I’m only getting older.
I can cope with it physically just about, although I’d be knackered as I came away with heat stroke yesterday, and still have to look after the children etc etc. although OH was an absolute star doing everything yesterday.But I’m not sure I want to train for 2 years have to do mountains of coursework at home and be more physically hammered than I ever have been. Don’t get me wrong I don’t want an easy life and it’s been so nice to have something to chat about to OH but I’m so used to running my own business and everything being on my own terms and I can make it as easy or as hard as I like. But obv money is a problem. I just don’t know where to go from here, just in life generally.1 -
At least you know that it's not the new career for you at the moment. You need to now be thinking about what you want to do in the future. Maybe in a few years time you could do this - ie once the children are a bit older.
I think it's probably always going to be difficult going from self employment to being employed.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
