Hi! I'm interested too in this thing...but I'm completely lost...and also my parents are a real problem for me..
Well, I'm Elena from Italy, I would like to start a new career since I choose the wrong BA in Italy (I have a BA in foreign languages...which is not useful at all..) and now a first year student in a MA in Tourism business...but it's not what I would like to do...I'm an athlete also (middle-distance runner), and sport has been part of my life since when I was a little girl..and I would like to have a suitable job in the sport sector.
At the beginning I was thinking about Sport science, but since I already have some certificates in order to work in a gym as a fitness instructor or artistic gymnastic instructor, I thought about if a BA in sport science would be more useful or not; so I change my mind toward physiotherapy, something that I liked a lot also i the past..
As I said the problems are my parents: they don't want me to go abroad now without anything sure in my hands (something that could give me a job I mean..)...but damn..I'm 26 and I want to live, I need a change in my life now...otherwise it will be even more late...They are right that I don't have anything sure now...but I have to be in UK in order to find something, it is not possible to find a job in UK from Italy..and then I need to do my experiences..even if everything seems extremely difficult..
As I have a BA in languages I suppose that I have to do an Acces course..(or are there other routes?) for the moment I don't know anything, and I don't know where exactly I could do it and the the BA in Physio...so I'm asking for help!!!
The other big problem is money!!! I hope to be able to find a little job in a gym or something like that, but is it possible for an Italian to receive a loan (for the access course and then for the BA)? how does it work?
Please...I need any kind of advice...because just looking on the internet it's not easy..and I don't want to loose time and years...I' m a bit worried...because I think that I will not be able to do it..
