Can you come to the rescue?

I currently work in a testing lab, and have done for 10 years. It''s boring and repetitive, but pays well. I''ve been looking into doing a PGCE course and becoming a primary teacher, and have some money saved up to live off while I study for a year. But should I quit my job and try and become a teaching assistant in the meantime?
My contract states I have to give 10 weeks notice if I want to leave. If I did apply for a new job, surely no-one would want to wait 10 weeks before I could start. So I would have to quit my job and work my notice before trying to get a job.
So should I quit my job in the hope of becoming a teaching assistant, or stay where I am and save up money?

I am very lucky to have found your website. Recently I wrote about a problem which I face very often.... There were 10 responses from 10 mentors. They have really explained to me and made me understand that I do not have any problem. Your services are wonderful and I am very much thankful to all of you.
I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.
