Honestly-what are my chances?

I'm 21, I have five GCSEs and that is it. I'm looking at getting a PT job in a few months time and doing a OU degree which I will be able to get a 2:1 in and no more probably.

What are my chances of getting a decent job? I just feel like it will be zilch.

Ill be 27 at the earliest when I grad :/
Degrees are useless door openers that basically state you can go away and scribble some notes from a book.

Experience however is vital.

An degree and experience is a sure fire way to earn top wages for your profession.

What course do you want to do?

Actually OU degrees are valued incredibly highly by employers, as they show you are extremely motivated and self-disciplined. A 2.1 is nothing to be snorted at either, so if you can commit the time to it, and are in a good enough financial situation to be able to get through it comfortably, then it'll be worth it at the end of it.
