Open University - allows second student finance loan even if you already have degree

If you've made a big mistake and graduated with a degree that has taken you down entirely the wrong path (or no path at all..), then if you are willing to saddle up with more debt (not for everyone, I know!) you can take out a second degree loan while studying in the evenings/weekends with the OU:

Of particular income-boosting potential is the engineering (BEng) degree and the Nursing degrees.
As always, before taking out debt (an OU degree costs around 17k), make sure it is worth your while.

shows how effective the different degree subjects are in getting you a job in the area you want to be in.
