I've been thinking about my course.
 
If I fail, its going to take me about a year to fail.
 
So I think if I fail this course, I'll have to work my hands to the bone to pay back my loan, but by which point I'll have had my bike licence long enough to train as a bike instructor - much cheaper to start out and a damm sight easier than what I'm training in at the moment (car driving instructor).
 
When I've had my bike licence 3 years (two and a half left!!), I can do a six day course costing £800, which will let me teach CBTs, which is the introductory bike licence, which covers you for mopeds if you are 16 and motorcycles up to 125 cc if you are 17 or over (no pillions and no motorway riding with a pathetic 14.6 bhp power limit).
 
Hell, its not what I'm going for, but it is an option. I might make some money, I might lose some, but you never fucking know until you try, eh?

    I hope I won't fail, not after all I've put into it - now its about £5,000 (or six months wages for me), with no help from government/parents, and I've even put my bike up for sale and bought a car to help my training (cause I'm training as a car driving instructor), which I've stayed up all night crying about. Twice.

    ugh. I'm gonna end up with a large debt by the time I'm done studying too. But I just have to pay the govt back, and they very kindly wait til you earn enough money then raise your income tax to pay off the debt.... lovely.
     
    but the world needs driving instructiors, hell, i need a driving instructor...... keep slogging it out, you won't fail.............. stuff will work out, the universe is odd like that............ :-)

    That is true, you never know til you try.  I also think it's great that you are keeping various options in mind, it's a wonderful thing to do and it's a way to be able to have your hands in a little bit of everything so you don't find yourself holed into a corner going 'Oh fuck, I don't know how to do anything else, what am I gonna do?!'  Good for you!

Alright, so my boyfriend and I are still doing amazing. I had started to think I didn't care about him as much as I thought because I've been having a lot of dreams and such about my ex latley. But, I think it's because there was never any closure there;...
We usually have a pre-warning that we will have very busy and rushed meals during the week. It could be that it is footy practice, netball practice, children's concerts, or whatever, but usually we do get a bit of forewarning. To help you cope with t...
Sometimes the value of a hotel seems completely disproportionate for the money you pay. If all you essentially need is a bed and a roof for a night and you have to pay 50 pounds for it, it does leave a bitter taste, to my mouth at least. When you fac...
