Stu, I already have a BSc(Hons)in IT plus courses and/or certification is soooooo expensive. Uni taught me a hell of a lot as to where to find information though in my case it scares off most potential employers - they are more interested in my CSCS card than my degree.

Im not writing off Uni as a waste of time - it helps the youngsters enormously and I thoroughly recommend it for them however if you havnt got your foot in the door by age 25 forget it!
