I'm currently really struggling with work because of all the responsibilities and overstimulation and debating going back to education so I can have some more control over my schedule and also open up some more career opportunities. I thought OU could be good because it's online so there's less social stress. Specifically interested in doing a Psychology degree with Open University (full-time) because this has been my special interest for years now.
Has anyone done a degree with OU? Would you recommend full-time? Did you find that they were supportive and understanding of autistic people?
Yes a long time ago.
did it get you a high paying job is the real question as to whether it was worth it really?usually degrees and stuff are to unclock jobs above minimum wage, into the 50k plus a year range.
No, no high paying job, but at that time the cost of the OU degree was much much less then it is now.
My problem is that by now I do know quite a bit about my chosen subjects and have problems getting books and stuff, I really need access to a university library, my subject/s arn't technical, but I'd love to have the stimulation of discussion and feedback. I'd have to move back to England, probably Exeter to follow some of my more esoteric interests as they seem to do the courses that I'd want to do, only I don't want to move to England not even Exeter, its to busy and crowded and I'd have to do so much catching up with tech. If I ever won the lottery that I don't do, I'd be a perpetual student.
