    I guess we'll go with, when you're finished altogether, post-grads and all, if you choose to go down that route.

    24, after starting college at 18 but having a bit of a detour along the way. I don't think I'm going to do a postgrad, maybe 6 years in UCD is enough for anyone!

    If I don't do the MA next year 21, because I'll probably never get around to going back. God, I could be 50 for all I know. How can you get a conclusive answer from anyone on this? Circumstnaces are in constant flux.

    I will probably be 23 when I finish my education because after my degree in Arts I'm going to have to do another course whether it be a Masters or a diploma or degree.I don't know at this stage.
