What humour? Was I trying to be funny or something? Can't remember trying to be actually. Or even writing anything that attempted to be remotely amusing for that fact.



On another note, I am a mature student and will actually be returning to my course in about 2 years when baby is old enough. I will be able to get extra support with childcare arrangements, etc, and get extra money monthly. I will also be allowed a certain amount of time off, and have flexibility in study arrangements. (Unfortunately, in my case I can't continue to study when baby is on the way, because I have to complete a certain number of hours in placement, and I won't be able to complete this by the end of the year. Thats where the flexibility ends for my course I'm afraid.)

I know quite a few people (friends) who are on my course who have children (ages of students range from 19 - 48). Most of them have children under 10. Depending on what you want to look into, I could put you in contact with one of them if you wish?

... and I wasn't involved at all this time!

This thread reads very oddly, as Krypt appears to have gone insane and deleted all his posts.

ooga booga!

I think there was a reply from Krypt which he deleted so now it looks as if 7th was responding to you, which I don't think he was...

Lol, you're not the only one who's confused.

Mind you, always am at the moment :D

Sorry 7th if you weren't replying to me. I don't know who's replying to anyone. In fact, I don't really know what's going on any more.....reckon it must be the overdose of pickled onions. Is there a recommended daily dose for pickled onions? Hmm.

Ummmmm there were many more of krypt's posts on here.

He's deleted them all.

Good god.

Oh and btw, 2.5 pickled onions is the recommended daily intake. No more, no less.

I'm sure the baby will pop out demanding a meal of pureed pickled onions when the time comes :)

I feel sorry for Xavier tonight though, having to sleep in the same bed as me stinking of onions and vinegar. Tee hee.

:great:

On a side note, I was a "mature" student. So many fktards that did straight school - A's - degree fked up under the pressure from MOM and PA.

Piss off round Europe/wherever for a bit, get a job, get some cash saved and experience then go to Uni IMHFO.

The story is basically i am a 25 year old married guy with a 5 month old son & huge debts.

My current job is gonig nowhere and i hate it.

If i was to give up work & sign up for a full time degree in say computing i am wondering if i would have to pay course fees & what help would be available to me financially while studying.

Anyone have any idea on these specifics?

I'm no expert, but doesn't the government tend to look dimly on people giving up work, for whatever reason? You might not get any assistance.

Heh, I've known people who have done that, so it's out there. I was kinda asking you if you were willing to do it :) Does your wife/baby-mother work?

What about the Open University. Although it's a "stay at home" study it does in fact require a lot of time and includes "on site" classes.

Normally, a working student will build up to a degree over around six years or more, whereas if you have the time you can study more than one course and bring that down to three years.

There is still a limit as to how many courses you can do at the same time, but for part-time workers its fine.

I've looking into OU courses at the moment myself. It seems to be the best option for keeping holding down a job while studying for something better, and they are well respected by employers. Worth looking into.

As an employer, if someone came to me having taken a bold decision about changing their career and studying in their spare time to better themselves with an OU degree I'd give them very serious consideration for any job going. Getting off your arse and doing something about your career, for yourself, takes balls and is worthy of respect.

I'm hoping to get soemothing done in no more than 4 years so i think thats going to mean fulltime. The wife does a few hours cleaning each day. As for the Baby he writes for the Times but hes too tight to share his money ;)

I honestly could not do OU by the time i finish work make bottles liquidise food and that sort of stuff i'm not sure i could do it.
