I’m in very much the same boat as you except in Canada. You can’t join most public service jobs, police... though I think CSIS and CSEC recently changed their requirements but you have to be damned good. Don’t quote me on that, however.

I’d even planned on going back part time as there were some adult grants offered but they were largely removed by our most recent provincial government in the course of a large number of education cuts.
