Option A - Option B

[Hustle]

I've got to make a big decision this week. I want to be a teacher and currently working at a secondary school as a TA.

Option A
Study at a distance learning university (open university)
Keep my job that I enjoy
Have no student debt
Have £20k saved for a house deposit in 3/4 years

Option B
Go to a brick university
Quit my job
20K student debt
Have the experience of university

Decisions decisions!

[Faggot.]

Please choose B. I implore you.

B, go to college and get business connections. connections are 90% the point of uni, the other 10% is making up stats

option A

[Bobby]

What is a distance learning university and what is a brick university?

[sbakerguy]

Option A sounds better to me.

[Proley]

Option B is a tried and tested route.

[Acquiesce]

Option A in my opinion mate.

I'm at uni, don't like it all that much. Would rather be in position A right now.

Option B

[Ewan]

Option B is the better option.

[Dionysus]

Option B. There's so much in the experience of uni that just drives you a bit insane, and makes you love it simultaneously. Essay due at 4pm on Monday. Essay has a sentence written at 11pm on Sunday? That's what university is all about. Got an exam at 9am on Thursday? Go out get wrecked the night before? That's what university is all about. Go on, life the good life of the sullen student.

True.


Option B, definitely.

[Luke]

I'd go with B too. You can always move back.

EDIT: I thought of something else. In a careers fair I attended, I was told that employers will often chose somebody with a university-attended degree over somebody with a qualification such as a degree from the OU. They believe it shows you have more "life experience" than someone who hasn't been might. Crock of shit, perhaps, but if it can give you that extra push towards the job you want, it should be worth it.

[Kryptonite]

B, I think it would be best in the long run

[Punjabi Kudi]

I have done some distance education courses and such, so I know how it works. That said, I would do opinion B for a couple of reasons:

-Social interaction
-It is easier to see something in person/ask a prof something in person than over e-mail and the internet
-It gets you out and about and you are not on the computer all day
