Then get a degree. I spent many years cursing employers who would not 
even grant me an interview despite having ten years experience with 
financial systems at that point. So I got a Ba in Artificial 
Intelligence (which we all know is completely useless) at the age of 31 
and suddenly people would interview me. However at that point I got 
married and had no intention of returning to work on financial systems 
and preferred to work in Brighton.

I really enjoyed my time at Uni (breakdown and therapy not withstanding :) )
