Hi Deneb....
Maybe your best bet is to go see a career counsellor at a community college. If you are thinking of going to a "private" college (DeVry, etc), they are very costly and, here in Canada, not as reputable as certified community colleges of applied arts and technology. I dropped out of a masters level university program last Fall and have just started a community college program in Child and Youth Work. I am also doing a "field placement". I don't get paid for this, but get this...I work with people who have their master's degree in social work, and even before I graduate, when I am out of school for the summer, they said they will *absolutely* hire me full-time. Then, when I go back to school in the Fall, I will go part-time. A couple of other suggestions: maybe look into a trade? Many women are in the skilled trades now, and they make damn good money! Or, you may have to take a bit of university combined with college, there is Nursing. But, first, go talk to a good career counsellor about this. I wouldn't go to the university one, because they just want your money...they don't care if you get a job or not. Good luck...Jay
