    Hi all,

    I don't usually post a whole lot here but I'll give it a go. I have applied to do the Evening Arts Degree in Social Science with DBS starting in September for 4 years, 2 nights a week.
    I am quiet nervous about it and would really just like some feedback from anyone who may be currently doing the course or past students who have completed it.
    I am in full-time employment and have 3 kids at home with the possibility of having another one in the next couple of years.
    Is this course full-on, as in will it be really hard work and difficult to keep on top of with 3 kids and a hungry hubby running around!???
    What are the prospects when you do finish, if I wanted to go into Social Care / Social work do I then have to go on and do more post grad courses???
    Its something I've always been interested in but my worry is time. Am I going to be stuck in the study all the time and missing out on my kids time? But then again if I wait til they're a bit older...will I be able for it???
    I'm 32.

    I would really appreciate any feedback as my acceptance form is due in this week.:)
    ( the reason why I've left it so late to enquire is we've just moved into our home that we've been building for the last 9 months! )
