I'd still really like to do a language course or something travel/geography related (higher qualification) but unfortunately I can't afford to do it.
Perhaps I should jack my job in and claim benefits as then it would be free? Actually lets not go down this route in view of a recurrence of a previous debate.
Not everyone on benefits is a jobless loser dear  Have you looked in to Open University? I only ask as a friend of mine after my suggestion looked into it... she works full time, no kids, has her own house with a lodger and she still got ALOT of money off... she is on her second course now on her way to a maths degree |

I'll make that 2 jobless losers then - surely you can't seek benefits on top of having a student loan etc? Maybe its different if you're doing it part time |

With Open Uni the funding etc its all worked on household income I believe... check out the website... you have nothing to loose! |

I take it your doing more human geography than physical seeing as you're doing economics as well?
Yeh. A lot of the geography here focuses on economics and politics as much as anything else |

2:2 in Business Management from UEA Norwich. Gash subject, but living away from home at that age with alot of disposable income was amazing, though the debt incurred scares me now.
Starting a PGCE in Primary Education at Oxford Brookes in September.

Fine Art would never beat History of Art 2-1 that's for sure.

It's similar for the Geography course up in Manchester where there were a few economic/political modules, with some others linked to development and then only a couple of truly physical geography bits. Strangely you could have done all the human/economic/political courses and got a BSc, or all the physical scientific modules and got a BA - all dependent upon which one you applied for at college/sixth form - such was the freedom of the modules you took. |

Nope, Finished my A-levels and decided I'd had enough of the education system.... I really didn't do much in my last year of it and had had enough of it all. I'm glad I've done my A-Levels though as ifI change my mind and decided I want to go, hopefully I can still get in.
