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. |

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.
