in a similar situation to you, i winged my way into a semi-selective foundation certificate (one of the few here designed for native English speakers, the foundation is typically for foreigners) and took it from there - this is essentially continuing education, which has been mentioned. other than that i had the option to do 'access' courses at college (the tier before university) which are totally useless perfunctory steps that allow you to walk into mediocre HE (university) but something i didn't have the patience for.

we have grades, but no GPA really. mine would be non-existent because i didn't even finish college.

i don't know how education is structured over there, but basically, there's a path for you despite age/qualification, you just need to formulate an appropriate plan. i was sort of lucky: i had a great reference, wrote a fairly convincing application and then treated the interview like a regular conversation.

English teacher?

Oh, you speak from experience having graduated with an English degree?

Or are you speaking out of your asscheeks?

Co sign With Oats. People say the same about studying Maths. I went into teaching bc that appealed to me and the pay isn't as terrible here as the US, but heaps of people I studied with went on to work for various big companies and are doing well. Most employers just want to see you can knuckle down and work hard and get results - which you can demonstrate by completing just about any degree from a reputable institution. Graduate positions that ask for specific skills or degrees are in the minority.
