Possibilities

I'm liking the sound of doing a psychology degree perhaps with counselling but even if I do a psychology degree on its own as it has elements of child psychology could I use that to get on a pcge if I want to become a primary school teacher after I gain the degree? If not what's an interesting degree that would enable me to follow that path please?

Just basic psychology degree or psychology and counselling?? Or. Would that not matter?

So you think it will be fine to do a more interesting degree than a core subject?, how about it and software? I could always then maybe become an it teacher or have a grounding for primary with a degree?

Can i ask what basis you are looking at this on? Just im already 35 I don't want to hang around lol I do appreciate the advice though.. I feel if I do a computer and software degree perhaps it would open the avenue to more job opportunities..
