Thanks mother goose (havent been here for a while so havent seen the post til now)

I will definitely look into that. I know there are ways I can do a traineeship where I can work and study at the same time. I am definitely thinking about that one.

As for the uni fees..well I will go hecs (or hecs help as it is now called providing I get in when I apply of course)

I have actually spoken with a couple of uni's and they have recommended the cert IV course first so thats pretty much helped cement my decision. And if I dont get into uni right away..at least I can work in the meantime.

Fingers crossed I get a cert IV place. I reckon that is going to be much easier than a uni place for now.

Thanks again
