You never did tell us how your exam results turned out.
I do hope this time, you get good enough results to earn enough to support yourself and the tax payers you are borrowing this latest 'career move', expense from.
Only joking, I know you will apply yourself in a similar manner to your last University course.
(Note to self, don't go for early retirement, Blazey is trying again, someone has to pay for it).

Actually I graduated with a 2:1 and decided that I would miss working with children more than anything, as I spent two years of my degree doing this, so I decided a great use of my law degree would be to look to childrens' rights and become a social worker. I think they call it "diversifying" and tailoring the skills you already have to do exactly what you want.
The NHS funds social worker study at any level, undergraduate or postgraduate, and as I have worked ever since I was 16 I don't see why I shouldn't make use of available funds to study for a course which will greatly benefit people. It isn't like tax payers will have to pay the 25k of debt I already have.
Also, I said on this forum a long time ago that I was going to be working with children when I graduated. Law isn't something I directly want to do any more because I feel sitting in an office would not suit me, and my work experience showed me that law is just that. I loved my degree though so this is my way of using it. We live in a world where you need both qualifications and experience to get anywhere. Fortunately I have both because I'm not lazy. Hence why I'm one of the few of my graduate friends who is seen to never be out of work whilst some of them still haven't found work a year on.
