To thinks its too late?

[kappadelta]

To do a degree. I don't have one, have always wanted one.
I'm 35, have 5 children currently working as a bank admin in the voluntary sector.

DH will be redundant in September so I thought it's the perfect time to think of ME for a change (not really, more of our future)

BUT? Is it to late for this year? My closest uni is Sheffield and I have left it too late to apply normally and would have to go through the clearing process.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Dia - September start

Trip to Eason's then? Best bit about going back to school

Notebooks and pens definitely featured in my decision to go to uni Dia.

They are a great incentive!

Fantastic - go you! Great example for the kids too. Enjoy!

Great news! Good work :)

Someone's calling me today to discuss my options for getting into uni!

Dia - fantastic, any news yet?

Yes! Head of the school called and gave me some great advice on what to do (A levels) and a reading recomendation to get me started. He also asked me to keep him updated with how i progress with it all! I am so excited i am grinning at the fact it's all happening.

Head of the school at the uni i am hoping to go to that should say!

Fantastic Dia congrats to you

Thanks kappa. And for starting this thread!

I did mine at 36 and had a complete career change on the back of if. Go for it

Personally, I wouldn't do it this year as it seems a bit late and rushed. Take your time and think about what you really want to do, you may even need to do a course before you can apply. Then apply next year. My mum didn't go til she was 48 so you are definitely not too young.

Not too old I mean

It's never too late. My mum completed her masters in her 50s.

I would look at the admissions requirements and think about what you will need to do to get a place.

Also look at the employability of the degree, its no use having a degree if its not wanted by employers.

Woot Dia! xxx

thanks balls
