Was it worth going to University?

I went to university at 22 after not getting the A level results that I wanted.  I couldn’t study what I wanted  at A levels and so had low enthusiasm for the courses. I could have done better if I put more effort and focus into it.  I was ok with Classics though and could have got a better mark for sure if I applied myself more. I was meant to study law and had a place to. I became unwell with an eating disorder and so the years after A levels I floated a bit and then did a HND course which I didn’t like. I ended up at 22 at university after some months in hospital doing a Major degree in religious studies and minor in media communications. I wanted to be a religious broadcaster. I did some work experience, but then relapsed again. My father encouraged me to do a MA and I did at 35 at MA in International Relations. I passed both courses. I took a few months extra on both and had issues with English but I had means to help me with this to.

I am glad that I studied what I did. I have created some blogs involving both of those subjects that I studied and I do voluntary work to, so it has worked out well for me . Learning is a good thing, although you have to pay for it today and it was free to do an undergraduate degree when I did mine.  It has helped me to present an argument much better to. I soon will be doing a shorter course in Christian studies which has allowed me not to do more studies because of my degree to qualify to support people in the community and I am looking into being a spiritual counsellor/pastoral support to in hospitals which uses my first degree. If I had my time again, probbably nothing would change.

Starting a blog on something like wordpress can be one way of using your studies or hobby.  You can open something like a sports forum to for free to get out knowledge on the subject.
