nice one mate

Would be good to get your training and then move on

My mate is a mechanic at his local garage and is on a good wage really but serious money is earned establishing your own garage mate

So you want to do an HNC, then a HND all around doing an apprenticeship. That's alot of work!

How old are you now??? Apprenticeship lasts 4yrs you will gain a HNC/D this allows you access into 2nd year of Uni you still have 3yrs full time at a university before you graduate.

Not trying to put you off just telling you it will take 8yrs to get there & thats if you go full pelt & quit work for uni after the apprenticeship!!

Open uni would be even longer cources are sometimes 7yrs long

Well I suppose if you started a 4yr apprenticeship at 16 you would be finished at 20 then at least 3yrs Uni if you study full time....so would be possible for 23.

7yr plan

Having a degree at 23 isnt half bad in my book though.

As long as your getting a Degree because you need one for the career you want. If you want one just to say ' i have a degree' complete waste of time.

Yea for being a mechanic you would probably do better to gain experience than a degree.

Not really, In some careers yes. Like I wouldnt be too happy to have a doctor operate on me who didnt have a degree. However when it comes to my car id rather let someone who has a good track record & such than someone with a bit of paper saying there smart.
