All depends on your current education and what you'd like to work as...

I'm a graphic designer of 6 years... I'd contemplated Uni as I never went, but after gathering many opinions my experience/skills were more valuble than debt and a degree.

if you have no qualifications, i personally would be looking into going to college to at least get some basic qualifications in maths and english, and possibly a science or two ;)

Get some qualifications from a college somewhere, with no qualifications your options are seriously limited unfortunatly :n:

you sure can, give them a visit and look into doing maths / science / english literature + language.

courses dont start until september so you have plenty of time to do catch up work. buy some books and get your head back in.

You can go to College at any age, after 18 though you have to pay for education.

unfortunately due to the current economic climate this is the situation across the uk. hence why i am now a student again for this reason.

there are very very little jobs out there and there at that many people applying for them its mental. people are doing anything for next to nothing just to get by.

my local advertised for a part time position doing 16 hours a week, within 3 days the landlord had recieved over 500 letters an application forms and forms from the job centre.

in the end someone with a university degree got the job for minimum wage. so there is no hope for the rest of us
