    Ok, I don't think I fit into any category! I'm 22, turning 23 in February 2010 (so I don't qualify as a mature student for Fall 2010 courses), I've spent the last four years studying Software Engineering and am about to graduate in 4 days with an honours degree. I have just realised that I did the wrong course. I 'm looking at Masters now for Music Technology but all of them require previous work. I have left some messages in the postgrad section but now I'm thinking about returning to college to do a small course in this subject. I'm wondering if anyone here has ever completed two courses like this (back to back) and whether or not it was a waste of time.

    Thanks in advance!

    A friend of mine did an Architecture degree and like yourself realised it wasn't what they wanted. They then did Engineering and have been working in that for the past seven or eight years. So it can work out well.

    Hi Michael here starting Soft. dev in Sept.
    42, married(wife says happily) eldest in 2nd arch tec. bolton st.
    I was A fitter welder for 20 years, got sick 3 years ago, still in remission(whats the image for fingers crossed) just finished 1 yr IT internship with FAS n got great advice n some good certs.
    Not allowed back to work yet so i am becoming a student(u think u are nervous)
    Best advice, its a big world with lots of great opportunities if u believe they are there, n get some MCPs(MCSA and MCSE and CCNA) or industry wont give u a look-in.
    I do a lot of IT for a local school and it gives me great experience and contacts.
    Oppertunity comes to those that keep looking....
    Best of luck.
