Hi All,
I am new the forum and after some advice....
I went straight into full time employment in my area of choice (IT) after completing my National Diploma in 2008, but began studying for a degree with the OU in 2010 as I knew it would always help my prospects.
Six years later I am now 28yo and 300 credits to the good, but my situation has changed completely. I am now in a position I enjoy (Business Analyst) earning a good wage and have a young family which is making studying very, very hard!
So I am now considering changing my qualification from BA (hons) Business Studies to an Open Degree (without honours) which would mean I officially 'have my degree' and can concentrate more on my work and home life, but I am concerned this will hinder my prospects of any future job change compared to if I stick to my original plan and gain the honours degree.
What do you guys think a prospective employer would think? I would hate to think the last six years have been wasted.
