College help!

Not really Appropriate here but...... In a slightly different situation.
I found my Social Welfare Case Officer (You do have one you just have to ask for an appoinment) to be the best help ever. You need to get your skates on and know what you want and where you want it. I though Social welfare case officers were about chasing you off the Dole. Mine was like "I can see you dont want to be here in two years time, ... this is how I can help..... Have you applied to eCollege.ie(I'll set it up)? .... have you seen the Adult Education officer at your local college (here is his number)?". Dont just look at the college course make sure your college gives you plently of support sturctures (maths grinds programming grinds during lunch time).
