Ok so I’m having a dilemma, sorta.

If you don’t know, I’m doing a Certificate IV in Youth Work. It’s 6 months long and I’ll be done at the end of June.

Cert IV is entry level, and since I’m under 22 and don’t drive, I am not eligible for many jobs in the field.

Cert IV is also pretty much stage one of the Youth Work diploma. So if I were to go on and complete the diploma, it’d only be an additional 6 months rather than a full year.

I also want to do a Counselling diploma, which is a full year.

I cannot afford to study without fee-help, but I’m not eligible for fee-help. My parents can’t afford it either.

Kinda at a loss on what to do.

If I stay at subway, I’ll only get one shift a week, even if I don’t study so it’s pointless.
