Thanks girls! I think I just find the whole idea of uni quite daunting but as you said everyone is in the same boat at the start. I already have TAFE quals in my current career field so I think that's why I'm leaning towards doing a diploma first as it doesn't seem as scary since I have already been through the TAFE system and it will count as credit towards the degree but I'll have a good think about my options and go from there.
