Business degree

irishmiss17

I currently have childcare qualification to L6 and it means nothing. This industry also has terrible wages so I've decided that if I ever want to stop living hand to mouth and own my own home at some point that I'm going to need to do a degree. I have a small child and will still need to work so have to do a part time evening course.

I am liking the sound of doing a business degree but have read mixed reports on whether this degree will get me a decent job or not. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Or if anyone did it part time where did you go and what was your experience and outcome?

I am also open to other degrees that can be done part time but if employment prospects are not good then I won't do it. It will be hard enough and expensive enough as it is to do this so there needs to be a reward at the end

TIA

Pretty much any degree can be done part-time, in the evening.

One thing I would advise you to do is pick a degree that you actually have an interest in, rather than your perceptions of whether it will get you a job or not.

Have a look at the various institutions' website - they usually have a full-time and part-time section.

From what I have found there is definitely some courses that cannot be done part time in the evening such as Arts or Primary Teaching. I will only do a degree that I have an interest in but if it's not going to get me a job that can pay the bills with a little left to actually enjoy life a little then I won't do it.

Anyone have experiences with Business degree in Blanch IT, D.I.T or DBS?

And that's just two off the top of my head.
