I still like IT
I will have 4 years worth of qualifications in a months time.
I may do my A+ as its only 15 weeks long 3 hours once a week, thats nothing. A little sideline incase uni is not cracked up to what i expect.
Then I can leave when I want and walk strait into a 15-16k job
They are advertising junior network techs near me, 15k and im more than qualified to do that
pc world will just keep me in touch you know

you can get that salary without qualifcations mate...Granted about the keeping in touch etc fair play.
Lilke i said a few month back you should just stick at your job your in. As when you come out of uni you will onlybe back in the same place, that is if you do take IT. Grades on paper means jack. Its who you no and who you impress along the way. Work hard for a contract and the chances are they will offer you a full time contract with them

Yeah true, just if I dont go to uni I will allways be wondering..
even if I drop out in the first year at least I know
Im very lucky to have the job I have now but I can see me wondering in a few years time if I dont go
