None of my friends know that she was a bar girl and i know she does not want to go back.
I think i will stick to my plans of getting married in a few years time though their is nothing wrong with a long engagement!
I think its a good idea to help her with continuing her education. But make sure you help by making sure she does something she will be able to do and enjoy.
My Wife trained as a Nurse pushed into it by her family and she has no intrest in being a Nurse. But she had a good education which has helped her tremdously once here. She now works in a shop earns good money and comisson and comes home happy.
A rounded education might be better for her than pushing her into a health care job, unless she showns intrest.
Two skills that have been invaluable and don't need to be taught at a school or coollege are English and cooking.
The English for work, social and for your marriage and the cooking so she can cook the foods she loves from home. I have read and know of phills who can't cook or prepare certain dishs. Small thing but Wife took the time to learn of some of her Titas a whole load of dishs and techniques. Now her phill mate who lives round the corner can enjoy dishes she could not cook.
Just read on here how important foods are to phills.
The two of you need to think of not just skills for jobs but skills whic will help her settle in the UK
You have the time to help Marilyn settle make the most of it and you both will reap the rewards.
