i believe tht you're never too old to study... i have a lady in my spanish whoz in her late 40's has 3 kidz nd iz majoring in bio... she was an accountant nd she hated it so she jus decided to stop one day nd go bak to uni... takes a lot to do tht!
£*Кεïз§#*£
stand by me... forever.
It's not too late.. Like Birdie said you're never too old. Plus you're only like 20 odd? If you wanna do somethin, if that's what you have your heart set on then go for it.
[14:16] Zero: nah, I prefer pink stilettos not red.

i find people like you an inspiration whteva u think makes u happy and wht u want with ur life go for it
the whole point of FE college is for ppl off all ageas!
There's a guy who has applied for finance and he's 82!
But unfortunately he won't get anything coz he's had too many years previous study.
Just goes to show, if you really want to do it, you can at any age.
Try doing a CISCO course? Its in networking. It opens up many horizons!
I know how you feel Plissinder.
So many times i wanted to go to uni and get a degree, but then I think I'm not gonna get on with anyone.
Plus I been working since i been 16 so I don't know if the studying life is for me anymore, but at the same time I wanna get a degree. I don't wanna be the odd one out in my family
This is my signature
Ritz, CISCO is a degree in its own right is it not?
um.... just graduate something... or find out what u r gojng to do... i dont know dont listen to me
i have a 35 year old in my construction degree, he was workin for some company but they werent payin enuff, so he decided on doin a full degree nd hopefully get a better job

Im 22 and want to go back in2 education, just waiting for few calls to join up.
Theres more to life than working day in day out trying to make money.
Yes money is important but some people dedicate their lives to it.
We work to live not live to work!

If you go to uni late there's a risk that you start gettin stuck in education and soon after you finish one course you start looking for another saying 'this will help me get a better job' 'I need this to get a better job'... But when you come out employers say, where the fuck have you been for so many years? They ask you why you keep going back? They say you're overqualified? (which is a piss in the face answer)... Then all of a sudden you studying for a PHD and get stuck in R&D and research.....
Don't get me wrong, personally I say get a degree man, coz it's tough out there and everyone has one, you need that as a base.... Then it depends what course you do, a tough course like Mathematics, Computer Science etc will be more valued and finally which university you go to.....
My advice is break your balls for a 2:1+ on a good course and then get into a graduate scheme.. Thats the fast way in.. If you don't get that you'll have to work harder, you'll have to do more to prove yourself.... If you got a 2:2 -> do a Masters, it'll boost you up.... A PHD is a waste of time and you should only do if you got no responsibility, living with fam, not looking to get married for a while and got that patience to do it.... Coz it takes a lot out of you......
I'm all for more learning and bettering yourself, but really think looooong and hard about your motivation and your commitment, coz if you don't wanna do it, you'll waste your time and come out on the other end no better than when you went it... Just older... Personally and this is a very opinionated and highly subjective things to say and I don't expect people to agree but I think everything other than a degree is a bonus and not needed... Obviously if you're doing Law or Architecture, Medicine and other things they force you to do more courses, but if you don't need it, don't do it... The first degree is the most valuable of them all, A-Levels before that.....
I can't stress to you people who is in uni right now how important it is for you to get that 2:1, and really no-one can explain enough as well... When you get out and look for a job, it really really kicks you down...

True say to the lot of ya, no right or wrong answer here, thanks.
Its true also that if you work FT and make money, half that money will get rinsed payin bills, shoppin, all the important things to pay off out of the way. When you look at your deep pockets and find loose change, you'll think to yourself, what the fuck did I earn all that time? LOL
I think my new years resolution would be to get my head down and do somethin for myself, also get my TID into shape,
T to the
I to the
