I also have a real interest in human nutrition but there are no study options for it in Wellington and moving simply isn't an option

I am considering doing teacher training to be a primary school teacher. I nearly did it years ago but my mum put me off seeing it through, I think I'll investigate it again though.

I have honours in criminology and just finished my Masters in criminal justice 2 years ago and love my work. I'd love to do my PhD one day but I think first off it is DH who will get his turn to study first (he is in IT) but would like to teach. I might investigate it for him - otherwise we'll still be talking about it this time next year

You already know what I'm up to, Charly... Midwifery studies.

You should totally take one of those careers test and let us know what your results are so we can help you plan your life

I'm in the first year of communications probably will major in management. Which should help me in going into events management. If I didn't have DD then I would do speech and language therapy but can't afford the childcare.

Clover, Massey run papers for human nutrition via distance mode.

Am so inspiried by you all!

I have an honours degree in history and a few postgraduate papers in public policy. It's actually been a useful degree, beleive or not. (refused to study law as parents expected). After graduating I spent 4 years working as an historian for the govt, mainly looking at Treaty of Waitangi issues, so lots of stuff land and war history and working with hapu and iwi to assist Treaty claims. It was full on, but I learnt so much.

Then worked in local govt doing policy and community planning for 6 years, did lots reasearch on policy issues. Most recently I worked as a recreation planner, doing policy and planning work related to parks and open space. I love parks and l loved loved loved my work there.

I want to do more study. I'd actually like to do speech therapy or linguistics as it fasinates me, but there's no training places locally. So am thinking doing some papers in lingusitics and communications. Have slight dyslexia, so ironically writing is a struggle for me, but love   doing verbal stuff, public speaking etc, and want to help others with these things.

i had my son when i was 18, so just after i left school and have never had a proper job, i worked now and then for my mum who was a gardner. i plan on studying once i finish having kids and the youngest one starts kindy. i think id like to be a florist, but i also love photography, animals and kids.

the idea of being a midwife appeals to me as does being an animal control officer or working at the spca. but i have always wanted to be a florist

I have a Diploma in Human Resource Management and also Diploma in Hospitality Management. I did want to do either Nursing (specialising in Pead) or Teaching but never did.
Now I'd love to do Midwifery and once we get back to NZ probably will do the Bachelor.

I find out in two weeks if i have been accepted into Midwifery! It wasn't until I had my daughter that i realised what it was I wanted to do :)
