I'm debating whether or not I should take a gap year before starting the teaching course.
This is on the basis that I find a casual job with full time hours. I really wanted to do teaching but everyone around me is saying I shouldn't do it because of behaviour management, taking work home, and that I'm too much of a stresshead. I also have unmanaged ADHD, constantly submitting things late. When I'm a "bad student", I feel like I'll be a bad teacher.
I think I'll try the teaching course and then apply for OT if it doesn't fit.
Always regretted not taking a gap year. If you can manage it, do it. You may discover your life's passion who knows....
Part of me wants to run away and work at a bar somewhere.
Probably meet a hell of a lot of new people that way....open doors etc
