If only more people could see that I was a teacher. & not a glorified baby sitter (although tbh I could make more money an hour as a baby sitter)... or at least the government & whoever decides what pay range my industry deserves

In my room there's a max of 20 kids with two educators, although most days we don't have that amount yet. Its been closer to around 10-15 children. The legal ratio of the max amount of children there's allowed to be per educator is 10 children to 1 educator for children aged 3-5 years. Younger children have a smaller ratio so those rooms have more educators & less children. Although eventually we'll get a 3rd educator - she's just on maternity leave atm

Thanks ended up having a mild-medium headache last night

not feeling too bad today but have decided to notify that am here but could turn to "away" at any moment especially where have to meet with my non-for-profit lawyer on Friday leading up to 3rd party tribunal hearing on the 21st to find out if they consider me disabled related to getting disability which I need

Been living off $802 recently upgraded to $814 where if wasn't a smoker would be fine but even if wasn't a smoker would still have no ability on welfare to move forward. So hopefully get disability which could be $300-$400 more monthly where if get disability than can look into stuff financially stable where even if I don't get it probably still look into the stuff. Where while a kid had a learning disability and my landlady brought up Asperger's to me where still am seeking answers but when I should have done the learning disability stuff a huge snowstorm made me miss the in-person meet and never rescheduled which was this time last year. So before can commit to the only new career see likely [general office] want to see what my reading|writing which was affected from speech developmental problems where was bullied all public school cause couldn't talk right which I resolved that for the most part. So with disability I would have the money to return again to college for a year cerificiate

I hope everything works out for you, Sarah!

Hope it all works out for you Sarah

tbh though what you get now is more than what I get to live on a week working full time

. Not a lot more, as I get just under $800 & that's after tax is removed, but still. I don't know what the cost of living is & differences between countries, ect. & what expenses you have, but maybe see if there's other places you can save if you haven't already? Are there any things in your life you pay for which aren't so necessary? Or any amount you can set aside to save? Really if you can save $1 a week for a year you've got $52 by the end of the year, ect. Its not much, but it'd add up & you may find that some weeks you can save more than others. That doesn't help you with the course of course, but it is a start

I don't know what you want to study, but have you looked at mooc.org? It has random courses, & it looks like short ones, but they're at least free from what I can see. They may not get you a job, but they may at least give you some skills to help move you forward. I also found FutureLearn which again isn't necessarily courses to get you a job, but may still give you skills to help.
