I really want to do primary school teaching, despite having already applied to nursing?

I live in UK. last year, I applied to do primary teaching, and I got an offer, which I initially accepted, but then turned down just before I was due to start. I felt too young and wasn't sure if I wanted to do it, as I had changed my mind since applying. I wanted some time out to think more about what I wanted to do. I found a job in a nursing home, and decided I might as well apply to nursing, as there would be a lot of opportunities in nursing, and I thought I might as well get to uni and get a degree. I now have an unconditional offer at one of my choices. but lately I have changed my mind, and decided I would like to do primary teaching. but I would feel mad reapplying to uni for the third time next year. and I'm scared in case I change my mind again. I have an interview for nursing this week, at the same uni where I got an offer to do teacher training last year. I'm going to ask the uni if there is any chance I can change the course I have applied for to primary teaching, and mention that they offered me a place last year. I am currently volunteering in a primary school

    Teaching is very different to nursing, and requires different skills, and offers different challenges. If you don't choose something soon, and stick with it you could, if you are not careful, find yourself with no options. I left a course in nursing, to train to be a teacher, and it was the best decision I ever made. I am much happier in teaching, and was miserable in nursing.

    Why do public American faculties prepare ladies to be like boys? Are they attempting to brainwash them of their questioning earlier they have a raffle to compliment in the event that they decide directly to persist with God's observe, the Bible and what he believes a woman's function is or what the imperfect human race comes to a decision what the college will prepare. i hit upon Australia relatively desirable recently, their no longer frightened of what something of the worldwide could do or say and persist with a series of regulations and ideology, sticking up for what they suspect in and not backing right down to make it less demanding and grow to be financially and materialistic effectual and grasping. We use to be a rustic like that.

    its likely for you to be confused. You have to this degree for three years and its something you need to be certain about. Talk to them about it or get in touch with the head of that department in primary school teaching and talk to them
