So today i finally became one step closer to my dream job. I decided to start working towards an Open degree with honors. I reserved a place on the first course, "Data, Computing and Information" with the open university. Hopefully will be starting in September.
I have 2 other course in level one to make up 90 points, then I move onto level 2 stuff... Client/Server side of application development and Java programming.
The course costs £380 (donations happily accepted ), hopefully I can get some financial support from them.
The overall degree is going to cost £5600 or something, and take 6 years to get and has a total of 17 different course ranging from £210 to £630.
My dream job is a web applications developer, Database developer and website designer. I do quite alot of it already, and I'm considering starting up my own site design / development business. I've spoke to my bank and Im writing up a business plan.
Unfortunatly, I dont have much business experience, however, I will be going to visit my dad for a few days next week. He owned quite a big business and hopefully he will be able to help with the advice
So yea, Im pretty happy at the moment.
Life Goals:
Start working towards open degree
Attempt to get my business going and earn money
Work as a web developer / web designer / database developer / IT security analyst. Its all good
Starting your own business is akin to walking a tightrope without a net. Tricky stuff but awesome if you pull it off. All the best to you on that. Regarding the programming end of things, talk to Dmitry (Till from Kenig). Even though I know little about it, I've learned quite a bit just through casual conversations with him. Besides, he's fun to chat with. :]

I'm going to be doing an open university degree in English language and literature next year. It seems that they pay for anything over 30 credits at a time (in full) if you're earning under,if I remember rightly,£1700. £20,000+ and I think they pay for half. http://www3.open.ac.uk/coursefinance/ here's where you find out if you're eligible for support :).
Good luck with it and good luck with your business.
