I went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing going onto run my own business for 20 years in Design and Print. I have always regtretted not pursuing jobs in the caring sector and utilsing the skills I have for this work. So at the age of 56 I have recently begun work as a support worker which I love.
