Heed to Deskpilot's advice those of you who are married with kids, have a mortgage and are considering an integrated course. Heck even if you don’t have the responsibilities but still value the next 10 years of your life listen to him. Granted it’s your money and you can spend it how you wish but 2 years lost earnings for a 'designer brand' on your CV is not worth it, I’ll say it again, if you think the job guarantee factor is worth an extra 30-40k you need your heads re-screwed. If anyone can justify it with reference to figures please come forward. I'm about 10 years younger than you Deskpilot with a wife, kid, house, car, pet fish and a whole lot of other worries, and will be holding on to my job (going to part time) when I start my modular training. Luckily the school is very local. I too am being realistic and know that I will not find employment very quickly. I envisage sticking around (as a Network Admin) for at least another 2 years.
