Started a history degree and then chucked it a few months in and kinda now a decade and a little more later I wish I'd done something so looking into maybe doing accountancy but obviously would be hard as I'm working full time. Would folk recommend Open University or perhaps doing an evening course?

Might find better results here.

plenty of evening courses you can do depending on where you're based. I got my degree at night over 4 years while working full time. it was a struggle and you have to sacrifice nights on the beer at times and what not but it is possible.

I had to go to classes every monday and wednesday evening from half 6 till 9. Two years down, four to go. It can be hard going at times but the weeks fly though. It does seem like it's monday one minute then thursday the next. Then the slump hits you.

It would be hard work and it won't be easy but if you're determined to do it, it can be very worthwhile and rewarding :cool:

Quit your job and hoor yourself out. You get to choose your own hours and the pay is good.

You can structure your harlotry around your course. :cool:
