If you don't already have a degree then you can get a student loan to cover it
However, if you earn over £25k a year then you are considered to be over the poverty line and already on a graduate level salary.
Education is a luxury these days, not a right.

I wish! As a hardworking, underpaid teaching assistant, I don't actually earn half of £25K, but my household salary puts us above the bracket.

Well if you study through the OU at the moment you won't have to pay anything back till 2016 and not till you earn over 21k. Then you pay it back as a loan based on what you earn.

I know what you mean - but any decent jobs I've seen recently are asking for it as ESSENTIAL - in other words if you don't have one you needn't even apply.

Could you clarify exactly what type of job you are looking for? Because I'm thinking it must be pretty specialist. Of the 6291 admin jobs on Reed.co.uk, for example, only 4 asked for a HND level of education.

You need to make sure that you don't pay out large amounts of money for a course that won't actually help your career.
