I left school at 16 with GCSE's, didn't go to college or uni as I didn't know what I wanted to do. Now I'm in my late twenties and I've found a degree I definitely want to do, but I'm scared! I haven't studied for 10 years and the cost of the degree is scaring me as well - 3 years at £3750 a year! I don't have any debts so the thought of owing that is terrifying me, but this degree would really, really open up my career prospects and allow me to open my own business. But I'm holding myself back!
I'm going to the college open day in July (it's also 50 miles away, it's a one day a week study at the college as very few places do Opthalmic Dispensing and I don't have a car). I know I should just do it, it would be so good for me, but I'm wavering! This would honestly set me up for life doing something I love.
I am such a tom tit!
