Hi all

I'm a self - employed book keeper, doing the accounts in a car garage and have lots of companys which i do at home, and also about to start my third year teacher training, only 4 years to go, i've got to do it the long way as i cen't afford to go to uni full time!!!

If you don't mind me asking - How are you training to be a teacher because the drop in earnings from leaving work is the reason i have been unable to train to date and the only part time course I've found is over two years and would still means I'd be out of work quite a lot.

What are you training to teach too? I'm thinking about business studies!

Hi Little Miss Pink - I have had to start at the bottem, my first year was CACHE level 2 teaching assistants which was one 4hour morning in college a week and 4 hours a week in a school, which i do volunterally, the following year I did CACHE level 3 teaching assistants and was 4 hours one evening a week and 4 hours a week in a school. This was from September to May for both years.

I am going to start again in september doing a foundation degree for Teaching Assistants which is 5-9pm on a wednesday evening and again i have to do at least 4 hours a week in a school, this course runs for 3 years!!! Then i am going to do a part time top up degree in maths, which will be a year long. Then finally i will do a SCITT for a year which is a school centred initial teacher training which i will be able to earn a wage whilst doing it!!!

Thats why it's so drawn out!!!!

Edit - I am aiming to teach primary children aged 5 - 7 years old

You all have such good jobs

Rob's a plasterer, I am mainly a mum but also work in the local school a few days a week, in the reception class. They are going to pay for me to get my Teaching Assistant level 2 qualification in the near future. Must bug them about that in September to see when they are going to let me start doing it .

Theres nothing wrong with serving pints and cleaning beer lines, rather that then cleaning the bogs and mopping sick off the floor saturday and sunday mornings ewwww.

teachers aids are fab, Paris will be getting her own when she goes back and I know she would struggle without on

Also plasterers are great, even if they do bloody ruin carpets

Hi!

Im an Administrator and its the most boring job Ive ever had! I spend most of my time on the internet which is rather naughty but it makes the day go quicker!

Ive had quite a few jobs, prob 15 in 10yrs ranging from Credit controllers to sex line receptionist LOL!

I've just been made redundant! As of yesterday. Bit annoyed. I was working for a small company doing some programming as a contractor. Pay was great and money was good. Now i've got to look for something else. Annoying as i'm only in the UK again for another 3 months before we're back off to Australia to live perminantly.


Anyone know of any jobs around Preston doing pretty much anything, preferably on the weekends, please let me know!

oooo noooooo that's why we have cleaners
I would be most upset if they touched my side of the bar so I won't upset them by touching theirs.

They have longer tea breaks than I have anyway
