Am I entitled to anything?

    I have a degree in Computer Science and I'm currently on DA. I was thinking of doing a course in Multimedia, which my course did not cover, after the summer in a FETAC type college(CSN). There's nothing I covered in my CS degree I actually want to go into, whereas Multimedia does so it is frustrating for me that I'm lower priority. I mostly only finished the degree due to pressure.

    However since I'm doing a lower level degree, I don't know if I qualify for VTOS or anything like that. It could be very difficult covering expenses without it. I have a form for it but it's quite complicated. I don't understand what a VEC is and where I go to one.

    Are there any grants I can get? Is there someone I can argue my case to? Everything's so confusing...

    Computer Science in UCC. It was okay, but it spread itself quite thin. If you want lots of random knowledge about well... computer science it's a good course to do. But I don't really want to be a Software Developer or whatever else they're trying to gear you towards, I really wanted to do multimedia.
