Looking for advice on Diploma's and Degrees

    am certain there are many people who post here who have third level education so this could be a good place to ask advice.

    I am currently looking for a new job at the moment and want to spend my redendency money wisely by investing it in savings and then further education, it would have to be a part time course, one evening per week, or two evenings per week.

    I was think of studying COUNSELLING for 10 weeks, then maybe doing a BA(hons) in Psychology.

    Is this the best route to take? should I do the BA first and cut out the diploma?

    I am sick of banking, It's so boring, sure the money is great, even for an administrator position in most big banks.


    Thanks for your thoughts and advice.

    look into a course where you can do a dip and move into the second year of the BA after maybe?
