it's something i do as a hobby and the 3D design module was the most interesting aspect of the Btec A&D course i did years ago... it's just a case of whether i can afford to be a student or not. It'd certainly broaden my horizons in the long term.
Is it the theoretical knowledge you want, or the qualification? TBH I wouldn't have thought that as a very late entrant into that market (who already has a BTec) you would be any more employable with a degree than without one, provided you had the knowledge and some experience; in which case you might be better getting an apprentice-grade job in that sector rather than forking out for the next three years of a degree course with no guarantee of anything at the end of it....product and/or furniture design...
Now that's just not true. Party Animals screened six years ago and Shelley Conn still hasn't turned up on my doorstep with her road bike!I have found if you want something enough then usually you find the way of getting it.

Dayvo, did your degree help you get a better job or better wages?
So is that a maybe.
I was at uni at the same time, and You didnt have to pay fees back in 1995. If i had to pay £9000 Per year i might give it a miss now.In 1995, I was 35 and started as an immature student at UEA in Norwich. It was a 4-year language and literature-based course, and I received a grant and a student loan.
I didn't (and still don't) have any kids, only a lazy ex-girlfriend to 'worry' about, but I was able to study and do all the homework on time without any problems, and still be part of sports clubs and organisations.
I left with a good degree (cushy course, see) and debts of about £12,000 (my Dad, who had waited yonks to see me graduate paid off £2,000), and I was 'fortunate' enough not to earn enough money after graduating, therefore was exempt from paying any of the student loan off, and when I became 50 (but still immature) it was written off by the Student Loans Company (thank you very much).
If you can manage the economic challenges, I would definitely advise you to study; apart from a good qualification, you will enjoy yourself and have a great time.
Good luck.
