Hi Pete! Thanks for those ideas. I am 37 and was concerned about age, but I asked my good professor friend at Manchester about it being a problem and he’s said it definitely is not. Maybe because he went into teaching ;) I would think your degree is so specialized as to not be very flexible for a career path, though I admittedly know very little about your major. With sociology I would prefer doing research to teaching and would ideally transition from an internship into a paying job or at least have referrals and recommendations for fitting employment. I suppose being a professor would be alright, but I have no idea whether or not that’s competitive over there. Having worked in group homes with kids I dont really want to work with loads of kids – not because I dislike them, I get too attached and protective of them! That’s also part of my reasons I am turning off from the avenue of therapist in general.

ChatHostUK… “CHUcK”? Thanks for the welcome :) I’ve just started looking for schools. And coming here is part of that, I dont want to chase after something on my own if I can get advice from people who know what they’re talking about!

If for whatever reason my school strategy doesn’t pan out, is there any hope for a little American me to come over to live? Seems that the resources I’m looking at are saying “no”.

I really do know incredibly little about all of this – finding you has been one of my very first steps.

Thanks guys!
