OU results in

[eek]

You are presuming that people doing a degree in some subject you don't value is doesn't have an economic benefit.

I think I've had this discussion before on here where I stated examples of people doing random degrees that the media hype as useless but in my example actually provided an economic benefit to the person and the economy.

No I'm saying that if you have to pay £27,000 for a degree many people just decide not to bother.

To be honest, it didn't start out as the intention to do a degree. Did a couple of the 10 point courses the OU offers and really enjoyed them, so did the AA100 Humanities intro course. Having done that, I did another, and found I enjoyed the art history side of it, so did the summer school, realised I had half a degree so seemed daft not to carry on.

More or less how I started mine. Always watched the OU stuff on a Sunday morning like the Geology ones which were pretty interesting. I was doing HNC which included maths and an A level Maths is parallel so thought I would just do the M101 maths which should have been a doddle. Slightly different approach to the maths applies/pure so was a little more work but was hooked after that. All the interesting modules were available after that. Did a CAD one which was a breeze as I was working in CAD at the time and by the time I got the easy ones out of the way I was halfway as well.
