Hi Cat, I find attitudes toward education in the UK strange (and I live here too!). Education is compulsory until you’re around 18 and then what…you’re trained for life so get out in the real world?

Education is a lifelong process isn’t it. Good for you for staying on at University. It’s not an 'easy' path by any means and you still have so called real world responsibilities to deal with. Ignore those who try and say otherwise.
