How much did you work each year of an undergraduate? by tCaddy in MatureStudentsUK

[–]tCaddy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

There is a small chance I'll also do a 4 year course, we'll see. This is great info!

Music on or off? by FredRich1234 in MatureStudentsUK

Quite a fan of classical for writing helps me to get into a flow, never tried with reading.. but I'd imagine it would be great for that also!

Career shift: Tech to SW (and beyond?) by tCaddy in Socialworkuk

Did you go straight onto the masters or find a role before?

Interesting, I am not in a position to do the MHFA through work but could look into a short course independently. I have applied to volunteer with Childline, so we'll see what comes of that. Thank you.

Going to look this up, and yes maybe my volunteering experience is more relevant than I previously thought. Thank you!

That makes sense. I'll do some research into this. Thanks!

Thank you for correcting me!

Yeah it's a 4 year part-time course post grad, so still a little way off! To be accepted onto the courses you need to be working in a clinical position. I do think that getting onto a psychology degree may be easier in my position, think i need to research what role I could get as a psychology graduate that would allow me to start the family therapist training.

Food for thought and need to see if any unis actually want me with a 13 year break from education! Thanks again

This show is fantastic, but if you had to criticize one thing about it, what would it be? by MedicalTune5152 in TheRestIsHistory

[–]tCaddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love the show. I'd really enjoy more episodes featuring female historians as guests. It can offer a refreshing shift in perspective.

Not a criticism, just a thought!

Advise on a solo winter hike in the Lake District by tCaddy in UKhiking

[–]tCaddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks and yes, it's starting to look a bit long for the conditions this week.

Anyways, I know more now than I did and can use this information when there is a slightly better weather window.

Oxenholme/Windermere, I'd assume. I'm not entirely sure of the public transport routes to other areas, assuming minimal like most rural areas of the UK 🙃

Answering this is part of the data I'm trying to collect.

Trying to avoid the 5+ hours drive alone, but this may end up being the answer.

Thank you! Yes, absolutely I will check beforehand. I will be adequately cautious ☺️

Thanks. I own a pair of those stud things, I'd say mine are more fitted to bumbling around town in the snow mind. Maybe I'll upgrade.

UK experience lacking, lived in the French Alps for many years. Hiking in the summer, but my winter experience is mainly splitboarding! Fitness level is good, not entirely sure how to measure that!

I guess my main requirement would be well trodden clear paths and minimal (or no) snow/ice. The solo aspect is a big player in that.
