Hi all, any opinions on my situation are very much appreciated.
Just last year I finished my 8 FE1 exams to qualify for entry to Blackhall Place. While I now had a path into law, teaching had always been my first choice at degree level. That September I found a job in a single practitioner law firm in my home town. Everything seemed great with my qualification in sight.
However after only a month in the firm I knew I had made a huge mistake. My bosses behaviour towards me was awful and I soon found myself dreading every day of work. After 3 months I made the decision to quit.
I quickly found myself a job as a substitute teacher in a Secondary School. While not perfect I soon found myself much happier in my career. I applied for entry to St. Pats in Drumcondra (Primary teaching) but unfortuneatly my Irish let me down. I also applied to Maynooth to do the H-Dip.
I have now come to the decision that Primary teaching would be my first choice job. It seems that sector is in far more need of teachers, the chance of permanency is far greater while I feel the job satisfaction would be better too.
However in the past week I have recieved notification that I have gained entry into the H-Dip in Maynooth. I am 25 years of age and the chance to finally get college out of the way is a huge incentive. It would take a minimum of two years to get Primary teaching whilst law is still another option.
I'm completely lost and feel rejecting the H Dip at this stage may be a big mistake. Has anyone else any thoughts/advise on the issue?
