    hi i've been out of school for 2 years, i did arts in 2007/2008, but dropped out, and this year I decided to get a job, but it was a massive mistake on my part.

    I'll be turning 20 this September so would this be too old to repeat and what is the deal with already having had a shot at free education?

    I did a similar malarky, didnt repeat my leaving but dropped out a good few times. Basicly you pay fees on the amount of semesters of college you have done.

    E.g. i did half a semster in U.L. the first time. Therefore i lost 1 semester(or half a years fees). Id personally go back if you have the interest and your course has pretty high points, 20 is still pretty young(im only 20 myself). Your other alternitave is to wait and do your min wage job for the next 5 years untill you can apply as a mature student...and by that stage everyone you know will have gone through college and will be working anyway.
