No, I briefly went to college, but the tutor wouldn't turn up and eventually I decided just to focus on working. I am considering doing some night or online courses in web development, maybe media, but I haven'tΒ been to university.

I didn't go to uni but i did go to college. College fees were funded by the government where as uni fees wouldnt have been. I do wish i could go back and complete the last course in college but its no longer funded as i'm over 25 so i cant.

Back in my day I wouldn't have been allowed or expected to go, thankfully things have changed but I was more like my father. Learn from working and do well as you can with that.

I went to Coventry University and got a bachelor's in German and International Relations. Loved the place and the course (sadly the faculty is no more) and it certainly improved my employment prospects. In contrast to some unis it was a very down-to-earth place too. Was in work for a few years beforehand and it was going nowhere so it was a good move for me.

Mine was the first generation of my family to go to uni - I come from a mining family so don't ever think it's not for you. If you have the chance and an idea of what you want to do, get yourself qualified.
