can anybody advise me of what to do with my life so as not to be useless in future.

[prettybabe]

Am a lady of 20 year.I got pregnant when i was in university in my home country so i and my partner came to this counrty for a better life. Presently my baby is 13 month old and am working with a care company as a carer but they don't really pay much money and i still love to go back to school so that i will be professional so that i can get a better pay but as u've all know that it's not very easy for an international student to study in this country cos i can't afford the money. CAN ANYBODY ADVISE ME OF WHAT TO DO WITH MY LIFE SO AS NOT TO BE USELESS IN FUTURE. PLEASE

It's worth finding out whether the study you did in your home country has any validity here. You may be able to count it towards a recognised qualification.

I would suggest you contact your local college, as these places often have departments dedicated to advising people in your position. You could get a funded course, child care and even a living allowance, depending on your circumstances. Now is the time to enquire, because most of them are enrolling at this time of the year.

Good luck.

In addition to the very good advice advice from saxy_jag -
if I were you, I'd go to a local college and see about getting a GCSE English, as universities require this level for entry to their degree courses. Otherwise, you will have to show that you have the equivalent level of English.
Some alternative English exams are IELTS, TOEFL or IESOL.
You will also need a certificate of completed high school education, but you probably already have that.
You might need to do part-time study, as I believe that regulations say that you need to have lived here for three years not solely for the purpose of education in order to qualify for 'Home student' Uni fees.
You don't say if you come from a EU member state, in which case regulations may be different - you may qualify for entry to university as a 'local' student, but you WILL need a recognised qualification in English.
Go along to your local college and make an appointment with the careers advisor and ask about this and also about Access courses (this advice comes from a former College principal).
By the way, most universities have creche facilities for the children of staff/students.
Good luck!

If you're a carer then you might consider training to be a nurse? You get paid while you train to do it, although I'm not sure of exact rate you would get as you're an international student, I know that UK students get �500 a month, but people with children get more.

For the diploma you would need an English GCSE or equivalent. If you don't have a maths GCSE they give you a short test on the day.
