When I was preggie with my second child I got in touch with the Open University and took a Home Course Psychology Degree with an online tutor. This meant that I done all my training (except for the exams) at home so didn't have to pay child-minding fee's. It also meant I could fit it all in around my daily chores and spare time and didn't miss out on all the fun stuff there was to do with my first child.
I now have a Masters Degree with Honours and am working as a Child Psychologist for Children with Behavioural and Learning Difficulties.
It was the best thing I ever done and has helped me cope with the stresses of bring up young children as a parent in my own home too.
Speak to an advisor at your local job centre to see if you can get a grant or help with costs for furthering your adult education at a local college or evening classes then go and have a look at what the Open University has to offer you in the way of courses - it's well worth a look!

Hi Leesa - Is your job that boring, or is the fact that you now have something incredibly more important in your life, your new baby. I think that this may have made you massively away from motivated.
Have a chat with yourself and say firmly that whilst the job is not ideal you are going to be the best you possibly can at it. Get fired up, learn everything, make things perfect, take pride and your day will fly by.
Imagine how good it will be when you know everything, you are the best at it, and you HAVE to start your own business because the frustration is now that you could do so much better. - Good luck

Medical Transcription is a good field to be in...pays well,requires some training,but can also be done at home (granted by some employers),....Child Day Care center in your home is an option..With a 3 mo. old I would think you'd be best at finding something you can do from home or allow you to have a schedule that is flexible..good luck!

Check out the colleges in your area, see if they offer Adult classes (which are usually one day a week in the evening). Start with a part-time program- which financial aid will still cover. And work your way up from there, it might take you awhile, but you will get your degree and training.
Good luck.

Try a college course that has nursery places for your child, you may be able to claim a grant or bursery for a full time course.

Take a part time course on software testing or data entry. This would help you to earn more income during your free time.

try a home college course? you can study at home in your own time.

if you're out of the UK...then...i dunno if you have those, so i cant help.
