Lots of people I know have gone into it without a qualification in that area! Like I said it's advantageous but lots of places offer something like an apprenticeship in it
Leave it be for a bit. Try again tomorrow and it might be ready
All I can see is people saying how boring the game was. That game was bloody brilliant, I was sat on the edge of my seat for all the Scotland chances. What a game that was.
That's exactly the game that you want to see - no team running away with the scoreline, equal chances and end to end, box to box plays. Couldn't want more from a game of football lol
That’s interesting! Thanks
Yeah I’m just hoping I can sleep tonight but I still feel proper tired so I’m guessing so
@GreenTea my mum got into her job with very little experience, she loved it, she learnt on the job and is now a teacher (she went to uni for that btw lol). I suppose some schools will be more willing to train their staff than others, but I do realise Scotland may be different to England here
Thankfully now. But meant to be meeting up with a friend which I can’t be bothered to be honest and I’m working Sunday. And the Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and Friday I’m doing 12:30 - 10pm.
My foot is really swollen and sore from playing football In the wrong trainers.
How are you
That’s fair enough @GreenTea I guess my mum did have a degree but not specifically in education so her case might be different. She worked in supported learning for about 8 years though after being a stay at home parent for 10.
Gosh that sounds exhausting @Shaunie take care of yourself
@GreenTea oh noo that’s rubbish! Hope your foot is better soon.
I’m ok thanks just bit tired.
TAs aren't just about supported learning. It's emotional well-being of the kids and more often than not, personal care of kids too..
Idk. In regular pain with this foot
Yeah my mum did all that. All she needed was a criminal record check and a good interview.
There’s nothing worse @GreenTea maybe speak to your GP?
Yeah reminds me of being a care assistant. Don’t need a qualification for that but it’s a lot of stuff. People you deal with can be very unwell for example in mental health ward and do personal care but don’t need qualification. At most might need level 2 health care
Yh the process of getting a job now can flag occupation health if you have severe mental or physical illness and are deemed unsafe for the job. They have to check you are safe to work a challenging job like in education
I don't have a gp anymore. I don't trust them with how badly they fucked up my implant removal.
