Anyone have any experience of this that they can pass on?
I'm currently considering an Open University course as an investment for a potential career change. I'm 27 now, and I'm a self employed tradesman, earning decent money but not necessarily happy in what I do, nor is it a job I can realistically do when I'm 55+. I'm fortunate that my work is completely flexible as I control my diary so can study full time.
I'm in two minds on taking a course on something generic with more job opportunities, or taking a Classical Studies course which I believe I'd genuinely enjoy, but may be limited in terms of opportunities.
Looking for some wisdom from those who have had similar experiences, would be great to hear from anyone who has studied through Open University.
