Basically, I really would like to go to Uni and earn a degree, but I'm 24 years old in August and I haven't got a stable job at the moment. Right now I'm going from 1 job to the next for money, but I want to get a stable job and be happy. I don't feel happy with my situation at the moment.

I went to college to study a BTEC National Diploma 2/3 years ago, which means If I was to go back to college again, I would have to pay for the course. But because I'm not getting a stable income, I find this would be difficult to do.

I just hate not having a career in mind. I feel like I'm going through the motions at the moment, in terms of jobs. I just don't know what I want to do to be honest. I am terrible at maths, and everything I seem to be interested in includes mathematics. I would of liked to have been a physiotherapist, but this includes scientific maths.

It's getting me down, as I have friends who are getting into new jobs or training, and I'm stuck going through the motions.

Any helpful advice?

Not quite sure what your question is. Are you asking what you should aim at for a career? Sorry to repeat the same old line but you know that better then us. Try to be a bit more specific about what you want to find out and you'll get more responses

Yeah sorry, I mean I am not sure where I want to go career wise. I like politics and sport, which are 2 way different things, but I don't know what else. I also thought about Physiotherapy, but I am terrible at maths. When I say I'm bad at maths, I mean I'M BAD!! and not good at all. But the thing is, most of the careers I am interested in require at least some maths. This is the only thing that holds me back from getting into a career. My brain is like a sieve when it comes to mathematics.

The obvious answer (elephant in the room!) would be to improve your maths then? Plenty of people don't take naturally to the subject, but at a basic level at least it is just following simple rules really. Perhaps look in to what you would need to do the Physio course (A-Level maths? GCSE maths?) and then look to get a tutor and self study it. You may well find that once you get going the subject is not nearly as hard as you think (pretty sure Maths has the highest A rate at A-Level). Do all areas of Physio require maths anyway?
