Hi.
Quite a strange question, I think. I've not been able to find this exact question online.
Picture the scene. I'm a mature student, a masters drop out. I've already got a 1st class degree from university and now I'm back home in part time employment making a steady income.
I miss education. Whilst I might be able to read multiple books on a specific subject, I'll never have a certificate that says I know XYZ about this subject.
I've been looking into doing more qualifications at a local college as a part time student but due to financial constraints, I can't do any of it.
I feel as though I want to do more studying. I've thought about self teaching myself an A Level and sitting the exams as an external candidate. I'm not necessarily doing it to get a job, but I did completely waste my A Levels (I only actually got 2).But instead I'm thinking of doing it just because I want to study again.
To summarise, I guess my question is:
Is it worth self-teaching myself A Levels as a hobby, in my free time?
