Thanks for the reply Bev, i found what you said quite intresting. I guess my major problem is not that i dont know what i need to do, just more how long its going to take, a lot of what i am trying to do could take me a couple of years and well i was thinking much smaller time scale like a 12-18 month period. The only other thing i would like to ask if i could would be the idea of course sponsorship, im not sure if you have it out there but. CIMA for example has a work experience aspect to it and some companies over here actively seek out people who are studying todwards things like CIMA with the aim of taking them on and helping them through their course, in exchange for a few years commitment at the end of their studies etc. My GF has a similar thing as she was working in Marketing but she has now gone into Advertising and she is being sent to College once a week for an associates degree in advertising. I am wondering if there are any options in this way of doing things i could explore etc, so please any advice would be great, thanks
