My little sister told me this site gives good advice so i'm just gona use her account to ask this question.
I'm 17 years old and half way through year 12. About 3 months ago i found out i was pregnant which my boyfriend was ecstatic about but anyway this is about university.
I wanted to do something to get into childcare and i know you have to do a course on it for one. because i like children and i would love to work with them and two. because i am going to have a baby soon myself and i would be able to take my baby to work and won't have to leave him/her. My mum works and i know she will be able to take care of the baby sometimes but it's my child and i do want to take care of it myself. I was wondering if there was any other kind of jobs that would allow me to take my child to work? I didn't think there would be many but any suggestions would be good.
Please, i don't want bull about how young i am to have a baby and that i can't possibly take care of it myself i just would like some ideas for different careers i could look into.
P.S Any young mothers out there if you have any advice please tell me.

Good for you, by the way- your child will greatly appreciate you spending this time with them!
That, and the early years are when they learn the most, and I always felt it was best for them to learn right and wrong, ABCs, how to tie their shoe, how to color inside the lines, etc. from a parent, and not a sitter or day care provider.
I don't know what your boyfriend is going to do for you and your child support wise, so this may not be an idea that will work out for you.
My husband works, and I stay home. We scrape by on his paychecks for now, bu when my kids reach school age, I plan to get a job working at the school as a para. (They help students study in class, etc.) Then I can stay home through the young years, and never be at work when they are home from school.
Like I said, I don't know what your situation is with your boyfriend, but I thought I would throw it out there.
