Advantages: The feel good factor

Disadvantages: None-all good

I am a great believer in higher education, I think if a person missed out on their education through ill health or other reasons I don't see why that person should miss out on getting back into the saddle and trying again. Yes this can be expensive, but it is worth it and if you are not working, or on a low income you are entitled to educational grants, which will give that person a chance at gaining confidence and knowledge as well as making a person feel good about themselves.

Because I was caring for my family I missed out on a lot of schooling, and exams and came out of the educational system with no qualifications. I did get back into education a year after leaving school, but due to family pressure I ended up leaving. Then when I had my first child I deceided I wanted to get back into education so I could give my child a better life. I started with computer courses, and passed work processing, text processing, all at different levels and got certificates and I felt proud of my achievement. Then I moved, and the local college was offering free city and guilds computer courses, so I went along and decided to go for it, I signed up for the whole kit and kaboodle. I was lucky because six months later the college was charging £150.00 per course. Anyway to cut a long story short I have now got a city and guilds in spreadsheets and databases. And then last year I started an open university course, in the middle of the course I found out I was pregnant again and was worried I would not be able to complete the course, but it actually gave me the kick up the bum to keep going I was very determined and wanted to get this completed and gain knowledge from this, and in Ocotber I completed my exam. In december I got the new - I passed YES------------- great, I have now got certified recognition.
Now this year I have started a short course which I am enjoying, then in October I will be starting a full course, I am in full anticipation.

I will say education is very important, and well worth entering into, so give it a go..................

Summary: Higher education, worth while satisfaction
