Right...

Had a word with my tutor y'day because i'm behind with my work.

I was told I had 3 options to choose from.

(The first one I have ruled out)

 

Option 1: Leave this yr and start over next year.

 

Option 2:

Get my work in for this year and then continue next year to get a National Diploma.

 

Option 3: Get my work in for this year

and go straight onto the Higher National Diploma in Professional Writing.

 

If I took option 3 I would have to pay for the course (it's 2 years at college

and then i can do a 3rd yr at Uni of Greenwich and get a Ba Hons).

Also if I take option 3 I wouldn't have anything to fall back on if I didnt like it-

because I havent completed the full 2 years of my current course.

 

I dont know what to do!!!!!!!!!!

 

It's a risk on my part, but at the same time such a great opportunity.

Definitely option 3...and get your bloody head down!

 

 

I would also suggest that you should embark upon a torrid passionate affair with a middle aged man, that likes old Fords!

Option 2 for me, seems like you have worked hard so far, might as well finish the course off, then you have that in your back pocket to carry over

[mk2_escort_chick]

The current course I'm on is a 2 yr one.

Usually you have to complete it before you can move up.

 

I really dont know what to do.

My m8 Grace wants me to stay on the course I'm on- she lurves me!

Honestly Dunno

 

Whats the ND worth when it comes to getting a job?

 

I Dropped out of Uni doing computer science because i didn't like it (3 years in...) went back to college and i;m now about to finish an ND only to find its actually worthless when you come to get a job.

[mk2_escort_chick]

National Diploma is the same as 3 a levels

[Rich Sav]

go 4 option 3 if u know thats what u wana do in life take a student loan and work part time at retro towers

[Wessie]

im in the same position sarah

[mk2_escort_chick]

go 4 option 3 if u know thats what u wana do in life take a student loan and work part time at retro towers

I could pay for the course and my travel wouldn't be any higher coz i'd be at the same college.

I'd love to work at rf part time- hint hint

Definitely option 3 followed by whatever you can do to achieve a worthwhile degree at University.

 

I have a National Diploma in Marine engineering and TBH it's meaningless now (fortunately it wasn't when I started out) When I go for job interviews now it's my experience that gets me the position and the ND is glossed over as if it doesn't exist. But I reckon if I was starting out now and it was a case of two candidates, me with a ND and the other with an HND or degree but both of us having the same experience I'd lose out every time.

 

Invest in your future by working hard now, and you'll be setting yourself up so that in the future you're a more attractive proposition to any employer than the next candidate they interview. Best of luck

I'd say option 3. You seem to really want to be a motoring jurno, so even if you did not enjoy the course the prize is worth the pain. A decent degree does open doors, the only thing that is better is experience.

Good luck whichever choice you make.

the only thing you can do is what is best for you and your future its your choice
