I'm hoping to start a BSc (Hons) in Construction Project Management this September.
The degree will take 5 years to complete part time. I can't do it full time as I've got 2 pre-schoolers and 2 in primary school.
So, when (if) I graduate, I'll be nearer 46. Gulp.
I'm doing it because we've done a couple of builds (houses) ourselves and I've found the whole shebang fascinating, infuriating and rewarding.
I thought I could well make a career out of it. I've been out of the work force for nigh on 8 years now. I was a project manager before but in a design agency. I have transferable skills therefore but from a completely different field.
The course stats show great employment rates 6 months post graduation but these are not broken down further to indicate mature students, gender etc.
My rationale is that I intend to work until I am physically incapable of doing do. I've really missed working. But do you think employers will just think I'm crackers? Some old bird who is just toying with some hobby?
What do you reckon?
