# not to put too fine a point on it...
YES!

I wanted to go to university more or less my whole life. I was a bright kid and all my teachers were telling me how much I'd enjoy it. But due to circumstances beyond my control it didn't work that way.

Don't know you're born.

# makes 2 of us
one of my high school teachers threw me off a course for non-professional reasons, meant I couldn't go on to a level at what I wanted, and threw out my chance of a degree.

Amazing how ripples can spread

# ahh, but...
my life has taken a different path now. I went and got my own place and a job, and on a student's budget, I can't afford this place. In 5 or 10 years, maybe.

# It's not too late.
Even for this year. Alot of unis have hundreds of unfilled places. You'd get into alot of them with little or no qualifications as well. Apart from that, the OU now does degrees accredited to "real" universities, so your CV doesn't read as a degree from the OU.

# psst
"circumstances" is basically disability, I got ill in my teens and eventually had to drop out of sixth form. I'm still not well enough to do a full time job, let alone a uni course.

That ship has sailed for me. Making the most of what I've got now.

# Well remember
that an OU course can be spead over as long as a decade. It's always there, don't give up on it if it's a dream of yours.

# It's something to consider
in a few years time.

Like I said below though, it's not so much a degree for my CV as the experience of going to uni, working hard and partying harder, getting out of this godforsaken town and so on.

# Me too.
I couldn't be arsed to turn up to school and forgot to turn up for one of my exams. So for reasons completely beyond my control, I failed my A levels and had to settle for a shitty career in software development and company directing which has only taken me to several different countries over two continents.

# tee hee
that's not beyond your control.

and I didn't want to go to uni for the degree, I wanted to go for the experience.
