I don't know how it is over there in GB, but here in the US you could do better going to a trade school for 2 years. You'll leave out with an A+/Network + cert and whatever else you need to start earning big $$$.

Personally, I was a Car Audio salesman/installer for 6 years, then a music instrument salesman for 2 years before going into home mortgage lending customer service for ABN AMRO. ABN's IT division hired me in.
