Back to school

I am currently entertaining the idea of doing post-grad study, probably a Masters in Environmental Science or something similar. The reason I'm thinking about it is because that's the area where all the jobs seem to be and I just don't have the skills needed to get them

Can you start by committing to one of the one year graduate degrees that can articulate into Masters? (assuming that they exist for this coursr).

Hrmm that's quite a good idea actually. I just looked and I could do a Postgraduate Diploma in Environment, which is a year full time and gives me access to all the masters subjects, but I just do less of them and if I get good enough marks I can continue and finish off a Masters.

Thanks D :)

np :) I just figure that way if you get into it, you can keep going, but if you find that its sort of "eh, this wasn't what I wanted" you haven't over committed. Also, it might be easier to swing studyleave for a 1 year course than a 2 or 3 year one.

Yeah very good point :)

Yeah, mine you can't do online but you can do it part time. It's just whether work will give me the time off to go to class.

Ooh it's all too hard to know what to do.

I found working full time and studying part time really difficult. I had 8hrs contact per week and at least that much in study (1/2 time load). I guess it just depends on the work load of your subjects. I would suggest trying to drop down your hours of work if you can.
