So ive realised.
Im 22, Jobless, and have a shit education.
Me getting to Japan by the time im at least 25 is not gonna happen.
Unless I decided to do something about it.
Now from previous experience, i know for a fact that going back to collage and asking my parents if they will help me with the fees is just stupid because they wont help. If i went to night school they might, but alas, night school is for a set number for weeks and for like 2 hours 1 day per week. Its really not all that helpful, and i should know, Last year i took 2 clothes making courses, 2 hours every Tuesday for 10 weeks. Each time didn’t get to finish my outfit, and the teacher didn’t really help out with actually learning how to read the pattern, she just told us what to do in her own words, which is not really helpful. Granted i got better at sewing and now know how to make 2 items from a pattern and how to cut out a pattern, but if i didn’t start trying to understand the instructions on the pattern myself then i would have come out of that course know just about as much as when i came in there :/
So yeah, Night courses are really not what i wanna be doing, which only leaves Collage, and the only way i can do that is by getting a Job and saving up money and pay for it myself. However that turns out that it might be more difficult that i first though, seeing as Jobs are hard to come by these days (again i should know, ive been unemployed for a year now >.<), Secondly, if i get a part time job and save up and then start going to collage, how am i supposed to pay nan for living in her house
AND thirdly for the courses i want to do (Japanese & Fashion and Design) it would come up to about £1500 in fees to be able to do them both and this is just collage! WTF? Japanese itself isn’t that expensive it rages from £200 – £400 but Fashion and Design Cost £1200-£2000 depending on where you go?!!?!?! WTH? Even if i saved up i wouldn’t have that amount of money and thats the only other course i really want to do! Plus don’t even get me started on travel fair :/ seeing as the only collages that do my courses are in London *sighs* i don’t even wanna think about travel costs
Can someone please either give me advice (not stupid advice like you should have stayed in school when you were younger yada yada >.> cause i don’t need to hear what i already know thank you.) or even the money to do the course would be nice too? The latter is near enough impossible but you never know, a very kind entrepreneur/ Millionaire might stumble across this blog post and help out a young girl with her dreams. Gotta keep your hopes up
Maybe if i sell my tv….
Someone please ive me advice?
Or nice millionaire/Entrepreneur (who genrally tend to be millionaires too from what i can see on tv lol) please pay for my fees!

I’d say, 1st just get any job that you can…while working that job continue looking for a company that will pay for you to go to school as long as its in the same field. I think the key to your success is going to be patience. You’ve just made a game changing decision and it might take a little longer for it to show itself successful. Hope this helps a little…good luck! esp. with the millionaire
