Shouldn't have sent that email to Obama, Noir!

Slight update, have started looking into the 'Open University' (OU) they provide lectures via DVDs and supplied books, all assignments are email based with an end of year test, it's basically like home-study, meaning I can work full time and study when I like, much more my style.
Anyways a course that caught my eye is PPE (Politics, Philosophy and Economics) and starts in the Spring, I also ran quickly through there costs and grants, the first year costs £650, but I will get £300 of that written off and a £200 grant, so it's basically a free first year, and given you must pay as you go (rather than having it added to future debts against your name in normal Unis) means I won't be getting inti debt, again much more my style.
Solly I'm gonna phone up about it tomorrow and see if positions are free, could be good

I always say that college isn't for everyone, so I would say that you should do what pleases you.
Two things to keep in mind, though:
1. You are obviously intelligent, so I would advise that you do find a career that challenges you intellectually, or you will probably not be fulfilled. We spend a lot of our time at work, so it's not good to be bored.
2. Also, it is much easier to finish your studies when you are young, energetic, and have no responsibilities. Much tougher to do later in life with spouse, kids, mortgage payments, etc.
Good luck.

Well, What do you want to do? I think that's really the first question you need to answer. If you need to, work back into it by lining out what you don't want to do first, and looking at the remaining stuff.
I myself am one of those for whom college is not really working, and I'm writing a novel, but I'm keeping myself on my feet with work while I do that.

Another slight update, registered online with the OU today, should get my confirmation letter in the post soon,
I start on a Politics, Philosphy & Ecomonics Diploma (2year course) in January with the option to make it q degree (add another year) all seems win so far

I like the way those three areas of study are combined in one diploma. We tend to compartmentalize majors in American universities, and I think sometimes miss the big picture in doing so.
Although the requirements that go along with a major often pick up these other topics, the courses may not flow together as well as what you will be taking.
