As a New Year is approaching I feel I need to have a plan for 2013 and not just waste another year in a dead end job.
Upon leaving school I went straight into working. I didn't know what I wanted to do and no college courses caught my eye so I got a job. Always late to catch onto things I think I've finally found something I want to do.
I absolutely love ancient history, Greek and Roman mythology and all the sort jazz
So as I can't afford to go to uni I have found a distance learning course - BA (hons) Ancient History & Classical Archaeology from Leicester uni. This is the closest course I can find that has a lot of what I like in it. It covers Greek and Roman history, Sparta, other bits I don't have much knowledge on & archaeology.
As it is distance learning all course materials and I believe text books will be sent to my home and then it's down to me to crack it open and learn! I won't need to attend any classes so it is purely home learning.
As with everything in life, nothing is free.
A lot of time and money will need to be invested in this course. It is £16,050 and as I will be doing this part time it will take 6 years to complete.
I'm yet to make a full decision as I don't know if it will actually be worth doing this but I'm currently leaning more towards the yes enrol me route. Will I actually get a job out of it? I have no idea but I hope so.
For some reason I have been having what I like to call an early mid life crisis. I hope that once I have decided if I want to take the leap and go for a degree I will get over this and start on a path towards an amazing job.
I don't believe I'm the only person who has had this kind of dilemma?
Ciao
