I have no idea what I want to do, realistically speaking.

My dream has been to be an obstetrician but that is out of reach.

I have self taught photography and have had many people comment that my work looks high end professional but without actual experience and qualifications, I'm not sure that can go anywhere other than a hobby.

This is bigger than me. I want to earn a decent wage to help DC's with uni etc to stop this cycle completely. They don't know I didn't go to secondary school as I don't want to normalise it. If asked what I do, they say I'm a photographer.

I spend any spare time involved with their activities ie. I stepped up to being a daunting stage manager type role on a massive theatre production for DD - in exchange for a bursary worth four figures, where she socialises with a mixture of working class and middle class kids, in hope to normalise a life I couldn't have.

So, partly I don't know what I want to do as I want to do anything with decent prospects and am prepared to work ruddy hard!

I think I will go the route of textbooks for GCSE's and put myself in for the exams.

I'm in a city in the UK, so if anyone has any career suggestions, I'd appreciate them!
