 Who said it's hardcore? Member 3896, 847 posts SQ 265, BP 150, DL 320735.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq | Can't say too much but looks like I won't be in work very soon. I thought my fiance would be ripping my eyeballs out with stress etc but she's actually very enthusiastic saying that I can now go and do what I've always wanted. Trouble is, it's all quite scary. I'm 32 in a couple of months. I have a degree already but it's not in the area I want. I'd feel a right prick going back to college to do an Access to Health course and then the resulting health related degree but I guess I'd feel even more grim aged 40 having spent 8 years putting it off. I guess being at college/uni has it's other benefits such as more time to train and spend with my kids. I can always work part time to keep the cash coming in. f**king hell. I think I've talked myself into it! | ||

I hit a pb today with a chest infection Member 3283, 1921 posts | If you can, go for it. I've been thinking about finally pursuing a career I want rather than what pays well lately. If I knew we'd be financially sound whilst studying I'd do it straight away, not so easy when I'm the only one bringing in money in the house. Never too late though! | ||

Member 5268, 136 posts SQ 205, BP 125, DL 240570.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq | Just go for it. Im 40, back in 2009 I fell ill and was medically retired from my career (which I thought would always be there). I am now in recovery of sorts and the one thing I regreat is not having done any extra courses to prepare myself for the situation I now find myself in. Hind sight is a wonderful thing and I now wish I had done those course's and things I put off. If you have a chance then grab it with both hands. | ||

 Tom's CNS is better than steroids Member 2886, 2973 posts SQ 190, BP 122.5, DL 210522.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 25.10.2014 @ 13:19 PM by JamieG I'm strongly considering my first degree at 23. Not sure whether to go the 'Access course to Regular Uni' or just study with the 'Open University' though (Never got a levels)Mainly because I'm finding life dull without working towards something and money isn't a good enough motivator for me to carry on working a boring job. | ||

Who said it's hardcore? Member 3896, 847 posts SQ 265, BP 150, DL 320735.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq | Cheers for the replies fellas. Application is going in next week. I have a couple of part time jobs lined up. Also been offered some work at my gym which is even better. Also helping my lady set up her online hair & beauty stuff so should have plenty going on to keep some pennies rolling in. | ||
