Career Advice

    I studied a HND in graphic design a few years back before moving to the UK to study for a degree. While I was in the UK studying I fell ill and moved back home before completing the degree. Luckily enough, the part time job I held here while studying were good to me and I have since been promoted numerous times. I have recently bought my first house and have settled with my small family.

    My problem lies in the fact that now I have decided I would love to pursue a career in design of some sort. I would hop on the opportunity of a placement for some experience (most jobs advertise 2+ years experience) but in my position I feel it is not feasible giving up a full time job for a potential 6 month unpaid placement. I would take the opportunity to complete a degree either part time or at home bar the fact my current job requires me to work 2-3 evenings a week. Literally at wits end looking for an insight.

    Any one here in the industry with some advice as where to go or an insight in to where I should start?
