I'm going to ask some advice about my education and try to explain the norwegian education system as simple as possible

You can get a "practical letter", meaning you have a specialised education (things like "health", "motor" or "media), or a "studying letter", meaning you have a general and broad education.
If you want to go to university, you get a studying letter. If you want to just work as soon as you hit 18, you get a practical letter.

I got a practical letter in "children and youth", which lets me work in kindergartens, youth clubs and with "difficult kids" in all grades of school. Work that you don't need to be a teacher to do, you know. What I DIDN'T know, was that the only jobs I can get now are in kindergartens. It's a dumb situation and has some technical stuff I don't know about, but basically I am only qualified to work with tiny kids.
I don't want to. I want to work with teenagers, doing stuff like drug prevention/rehabilitation, sex-ed etc that teenagers need!

So I have three options: Move out of town and try my luck, just get a job I don't want forever, try to get a studying letter and go to university to do something else later, or apply to restart the whole thing and pick some other practical letter. Maybe something in healthcare.

TL;DR: I don't want to work with tiny kids but it's all I can do, send help
