Hi guys.
I have recently finished an HNC in Social Care and prior to this have worked as a support worker for three years. Currently I have a part time role in a BP petrol station which I despise I have started taking unauthorized absences and requesting more and more time off (Something I have never done in any other role) and I have two other as and when required jobs (support worker and with the community alarm service). However I have been accepted to study a Bsc in psychology at Stirling university whilst this is a course I have an interest in it is not my first choice that was social work and I was turned down due to lack of experience.

So what should I do? Should I pack in my jobs and go to uni? This requires moving about 70 miles away. Or should I find a full time job and work for another year or two and reapply to do social work? I am 24 years old so I am beginning to feel like I might be a bit old for university and I do have another option of finding a job and just sticking with that.

Thanks.

Cheers for the advice guys I have until August 5th to make up my mind luckily iv found that at least one of the companies I work for is willing to find me a place in their office in stirling so I should be able to keep that going whilst at uni.
I still havent decided whether to go or not but its looking more and more likely.
